Lime Rickey



Muddle up some fun with an old-fashioned Lime Rickey, a classic vintage mocktail that’s as refreshing today as it was in its soda fountain days.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Lime Cut Into Wedges
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 1/2 Ounce Fresh Lime Juice
8 Ounce Soda Water

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a cocktail shaker, muddle all the lime wedges with sugar, until the lime wedges release their juices, and sugar and lime juice become syrupy.
Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, add lime juice, and shake vigorously.
Strain into an ice-filled highball glass, top with soda water, and stir. Garnish with a lime wedge or a lime twist.

Lime Rickey

This looks delicious - perfect for a last blast of lingering summer weather. I may try and see if I can concoct a sugar-free version with some Splenda.

Splenda works fine. But the sugar was the “pick-me-up” kicker when we were young. Brown’s Drug Store soda fountain was the after school spot. Malteds, Cherry Cokes and Lime Rickeys. You can make a Cherry Lime Rickey, too. Mrs Brown had a soft spot for me

Blend in a bit of basil and mint for some good shit (not too much though)
