I made this uncomplicated cocktail for myself and my sister-in-law, as a pre-dinner drink, before walking down to Dickson Street.

THE BUCK

1 1/2 ounces vodka

1/2 ounce ginger syrup

1/2 ounce lemon juice

3/4 ounce orange juice

two dashes of orange bitters

Shake all ingredients over ice, pour into a glass and top with a splash of orange bitters.

Enjoy!
