Day 200, Cocktail 195
Buck week continued Thursday night at Ivee’s. I had come up with a cocktail that continued my buck theme that I figured Davey would have all the ingredients available. It sounded like a good idea when I thought of it…
Monterrey Buck
- 1 oz tequila
- 2 dashes Agnosturo bitters
- lime wedge
- ginger ale
Fill a collins glass with ice and add the squeeze the lime wedge over the ice. Add the tequila and bitters and top with the ginger ale.
This is a twist on the Monterrey Mule and after my experience adding bitters to my classic bourbon and coke in the Bourbon Buck, I figured this would be a tasty cocktail. I still think it would be, except I didn’t get to taste it in all its glory. It turns out that Davey did not have ginger ale as I figured he would. He offered to make me “bar” ginger ale. I said sure before I asked what is “bar” ginger ale. Just what is “bar” ginger ale? 3/4 cola and 1/4 lemon lime soda…uh, sure, you can call it “bar” ginger ale, but it sure didn’t taste like ginger ale. **Sigh**
I ended up switching to gin and tonics for the balance of my night of Beat Stan at trivia, with no apparent ill effect. At least something worked out!
Cheers!
