Robert Simonson - 2022
What sets Castro's original apart from other Kentucky Bucks is the muddled fresh strawberry in the base rather than a strawberry liqueur float, plus the inclusion of Angostura bitters — an addition many other versions skip, giving this one a deeper, spiced backbone that fruit-and-ginger-forward variations don't have.
