Rum Buck

Light rum, lemon, lime and a few dashes of aromatic bitters stirred in a highball, then topped with spicy ginger beer. A crisp, gingery long drink; after a few Richberry halves, the citrus comes through round and mellow.

2 fl oz light rum
½ fl oz fresh lemon juice
½ fl oz fresh lime juice
3 dashes aromatic bitters
ice cubes
4 fl oz ginger beer, or more to taste

How to Make It

Build
Pour the rum, lemon juice, lime juice and bitters into a highball glass.
Add ice and stir
Add ice until the liquid comes about halfway up the glass, then stir to combine.
Top
Top with the ginger beer, adding more to taste.
Add the Richberry twist
Just before your first sip, chew 2–3 Richberry halves gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds. Discard any pit, then taste how the sour notes turn sweet.

Richberry changes the taste, not the drink: a cocktail may taste softer, but it is just as strong. Please enjoy it responsibly.
