Gin Rickey

The Rickey is a group of mixed drinks closely similar to a highball cocktail, which is made from a base spirit, half of a lime squeezed and dropped in the glass with carbonated water.

Ingredients

Cracked ice

2 parts gin (60ml)

1 part lime juice (30ml)

Soda water

Lime slice

Method

Fill a chilled highball or goblet glass with cracked ice. Pour the gin and lime juice over the ice. Top up with soda water and gently stir to mix the liquid. Place the lime slice on top and serve straight away.

Note: Use lemon instead if lime is unavailable.
