About The Gin Rickey
This cocktail hails from Washington D.C. in the late 19th century. It was created by Joe Rickey, a resident of the District who first called for a Bourbon Rickey. The beverage later exploded in popularity and was even featured in the F. Scott Fitzgerald great novel “The Great Gatsby.” The Gin Rickey became the most popular and enduring variation and remains part of his namesake.
