The Rickey (usually bourbon or gin) is simple – just booze, sparkling water, and lime. The Bourbon Rickey came first, but Gin Rickeys have become more popular in modern times.⁣

The drink is named after Col. Joe Rickey in 1883, who usually had a bourbon and soda in the morning. One day, his bartender added a rejuvenating squeeze of lime to his eye opener. And so the Rickey was born.⁣

Sometimes called “air conditioning in a glass”, Rickeys are considered by some to be the perfect warm-weather drink. It is currently 89 degress here in Austin, and…yeah. I’d agree with that. This is the first bourbon drink I think I’ve ever had in my life, and I didn’t expect it to be as refreshing as it is. Also in the photo, Topo Chico. A super fizzy sparkling water. One of my knitting friends dropped off some Topo Chico for my birthday yesterday, knowing that they would be nice for this project.⁣
