History
I became inspired by the Samson Swizzle, so I mashed up the Iuka's Grogg with the Gilda to arrive at the passion fruit-cinnamon combination, and I utilized the spirit duo from the 1910 Cocktail. For a name, I dubbed this one Bucking the Tiger named after slang for playing a risky move in the gambling game Faro that I learned about in Herbert Asbury's The French Quarter book about New Orleans.
