Gin Buck with Barr Hill Gin

The preppy hostess.I love a good Manhattan or a sharp Martini as much as the next gal but come summer time I lighten things up a little with easy to make cocktails. My go-to summer drink has always been a Gin & Tonic. But today I’m introducing to you a new-to-me drink that is both a classic and sooo refreshingly delish, behold the Gin Buck.

Apparently this drink was a summer favorite during the Roaring 20’s! Like a simple Gin & Tonic, the Gin Buck is incredibly easy to create. All it takes are just a few ingredients. Gin, ginger ale and lemon juice. Together they create a drink that is refreshing, smooth and now my new summer favorite. I’m using Barr Hill Gin which is fermented with honey making this cocktail even more fabulous! It’s seriously the smoothest and best tasting gin I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting!The preppy hostess... How to make the perfect Barr Hill Gin Buck! Barr Hill Gin is made in the Northeast, Caledonia County, Vermont. Each batch is distilled in a custom-built botanical extraction still with honey made by the bees from their juniper-forward botanicals. The honey gives the gin the perfect floral depth without an overpowering flavor. The hint of raw honey balances this Gin Buck to perfection!The preppy hostess serving up a fabulous Barr Hill Gin Buck!

  • chilled tall glass
  • 2 oz. Barr Hill Gin
