The Black Bear Buck is a dark, sweet-tart twist on the classic Moscow Mule, built with vodka and a generous pour of black currant syrup for its signature deep purple-black color. Fresh lime juice adds a sharp citrus edge to balance the currant's sweetness, and a full top of ginger beer brings the fizz and a slow-building spice on the finish. It pours a rich, inky purple in the glass, striking against the pale mule mug or a clear tall glass alike. Serve it over ice for a simple, bracing sipper with the spice of ginger playing against the dark berry sweetness.
Pour the black currant syrup into the bottom of the glass and then fill with ice. Mix the Vodka and lime in a mixing glass with some ice to chill. Pour in the ginger beer leaving enough room for the Vodka & lime which you pour in next. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
