#143 Cocktail: Gin Buck

        The gin buck, an utterly forgotten favorite from the 1920s, '30s and '40s. Nobody knows where it came from. Nobody knows what happened to it.
        Buck, and also mule, are slightly antiquated names for a family of historic mixed drinks that involve ginger ale or ginger beer, citrus juice, and any of a number of base liquors.
        Gin buck, also known as a London buck or a Ginger Rogers (after the actress of the same name), it's an easy and tasty drink to make. You just have to squeeze a lime wedge in the glass, drop it in there, put the ice on top, add the ingredients, stir briefly and.....done. Congrats!! You made a tasty summer cocktail.

2 ounces Gin

3 ounces Ginger Ale

1 lime wedge
