Buck, and also called a mule, is a slightly antiquated name for a family of historic mixed drinks that involve ginger ale or ginger beer, citrus juice, and any of a number of base liquors.
Variations include:
- Rum buck, also called a Jamaica Buck or Barbados Buck to indicate the origin of the rum. A Shanghai Buck was a popular rum buck cocktail in the 1930s-'40s. Adding lime juice to a Dark and Stormy creates a rum buck.
- Gin Gin Mule, also known as a London buck or a Ginger Rogers (after the actress of the same name)
- Bourbon buck, sometimes called a Kentucky Mule
- Vodka buck, also known as a Moscow Mule, invented in Los Angeles, California, and largely responsible for the popularity of Vodka in the United States from the 1940s through 1960s.
- Tequila buck, also called El Burro, El Diablo or Mexican Burro
- Scotch buck, better known as a Mamie Taylor
