City Rickey is a classic cocktail that originated in Washington, D.C. in the late 19th century. It is a refreshing and citrusy drink that is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day.
To make a City Rickey, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 oz gin
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- Club soda
- Lime wedge for garnish
To prepare the drink, fill a glass with ice and add the gin and lime juice. Top it off with club soda and stir gently to combine. Garnish with a lime wedge.
The City Rickey is believed to have been created by bartender George A. Williamson at Shoomaker's bar in Washington, D.C. The drink was named after Colonel Joe Rickey, who was known for his love of whiskey cocktails but eventually switched to gin due to health reasons.
The City Rickey became popular in Washington social circles and quickly spread across the country as people fell in love with its crisp and tangy flavor profile.
Today, the City Rickey remains a beloved classic cocktail that is enjoyed by many around the world. Its simple yet delicious combination of gin, lime juice, and club soda makes it an easy-to-make option for any occasion.
