The Rickey dates back to late nineteenth century Washington, D.C., and was originally made with bourbon before gin became more common. It was known for being refreshing and straightforward.
The Lime Rickey keeps things simple with citrus and soda, often without added sugar. It is light, sharp, and very easy to drink. It is a cocktail that feels clean and direct.
