The gin rickey is an old-fashioned highball drink from the early 1900s. It's such a classic from the era that it's still the official cocktail of Washington, D.C.! The original most likely contained bourbon or whiskey, as this was the favoured spirit before Prohibition, when people began mixing gin in bathtubs.
gin (two ounces)
lime juice (two teaspoons) (juice of 1 lime)
4 oz. of club soda
1 lime wedge as a garnish
The rickey is a highball drink made from gin or bourbon, half of a lime squeezed and dropped in the glass, and carbonated water. Little or no sugar is added to the rickey. Originally created with bourbon in Washington, D.C. at Shoomaker's bar by bartender George A. Williamson in the 1880s, purportedly in collaboration with Democratic lobbyist Colonel Joe Rickey, it became a worldwide sensation when mixed with gin a decade later.
A recipe for the rickey appeared as early as Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia (1903, p. 57) by Tim Daly:
GIN RICKEY. Use a sour glass. Squeeze the juice of one lime into it. 1 small lump of ice. 1 wine glass of Plymouth gin. Fill the glass with syphon seltzer, and serve with small bar spoon.
Since 2008 the rickey has enjoyed a resurgence with the revival of classic cocktails and a group of bartenders based in Washington, D.C. known as the D.C. Craft Bartenders Guild, establishing July as Rickey Month.[2] Now most rickeys are made with gin (a gin rickey), also known as a lime rickey, or as a virgin cocktail variant served at soda fountains on the U.S. east coast.
The mojito, which originated in Cuba, is a popular relative of the rickey, made with lime juice, rum, simple syrup or muddled sugar, soda water, and muddled mint leaves.
