Gin Rickey

About

The story behind this refreshing cocktail is super easy: It is named after Joe Rickey, a Democratic lobbyist living in Washington, D.C., during the late 19th century.  He preferred drinks without sugar, and one day, after adding lime to his signature bourbon and carbonated water, his drink was made. The gin version superseded the original bourbon recipe in popular, which is why we have this named after him as well today.
