Gin Rickey
Order a drink like this in most bars, and they’ll give you gin and sparkling water with a sad little dried-up wedge of lime – and you’re lucky if they squeeze it for you! The real thing needs plenty of fresh lime juice to tie the drink together.
Since this is such a simple recipe, it’s a great canvas for experimentation with different styles of gin.
Ingredients
- 2 parts Gin or Aged gin or Botanical gin or Old Tom gin
- ½ part Lime juice
- 4 parts Sparkling water
Instructions
Build in the order given in an ice-filled glass, and garnish with a lime wedge.
