What is a Raspberry Lime Rickey?

Rickey has a long history as a drink! It was first invented in the 1890s as Gin Rickey and made from gin, soda water and lime juice. (Well, technically it started with bourbon in the 1880s!) The drink became popular around the world and was even featured in books like the 1920s novel. Gatsby the Magnificent. The Lime Rickey is a non-alcoholic spin that loses the gin, although some people put gin in every Rickey recipe (including us!).

• Fresh Lime Juice
• raspberry syrup
• Carbonated water
• gin (optional)
• Fresh raspberries and lime wedgesfor garnish
