Jameson and Ginger Ale Recipe

The Jameson and Ginger Ale, also known as the Irish Buck, is crisp, balanced, and easy to love. You get smooth Irish whiskey mixed with bubbly ginger ale and just enough lime to keep things bright. It takes about two minutes to make, and you can easily adjust the ginger ale or lime to match your taste.
