OMG how great! Thanks so much Tornado..just in time!!
This is what I am having when I get home (3 or 4 of them)
Gin Buck
1 ounces Gin
1 tablespoon Lemon
6 ounces Ginger Ale
Pour gin and juice of lemon into an old-fashioned glass over ice cubes. Fill with Ginger Ale, stir, and serve.
This is my absolute favorite highball. Juniper and ginger go together as well as tomato and basil. It should be noted that you can make an equally valid version by substituting lime juice for the lemon juice. And if you can find a place where someone knows the drink by name, make that bar your hangout because he/she is a good barkeep.
