The Gin Rickey is a a simple cocktail that's been around since the 1880s. A Rickey can be made with any base spirit, so there's really no limit to the number of variations you can try. Today, I'll be making a few versions with Old Tom Gin, Genever, and Bourbon (the original). Hope you enjoy the lineup! Cheers!

I'm not going to lie, this barely seems a 'recipe' or a 'cocktail' but Anders is so damn entertaining that I'd probably watch him do it with every spirit on his shelf. I'm in the DC area and I've made a bunch of these in honor of the official cocktail. Very refreshing on hot days, and we get some.

My dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so my cocktail hobby/addiction lost a fan, but now I'm thinking I'll just start making him a bunch of Rickey's and see which one he likes more.

@sheldoniusRex 18 дней назад

I'm a fan of Ranch Water, so I can recommend that one for sure. I'll be trying other Rickey's for sure.

@leeanderson7339 18 дней назад

Diabetes really sucks and ruins a lot of things. In case you aren’t aware, alcohol converts to sugar in the body. You may want to have him check with his doctor, so he knows what he can and can’t do with diabetes.

@Petrosman 18 дней назад

@leeanderson7339 he is allowed small amounts of sugar, since insulin breaks down a lot of the sugar. He just needs to control his sugar intake, and alcohol is not as big of a problem like say hard carbs and sugars. And plus in a cocktail it's a relatively small amount of alcohol.

@karanhammett 18 дней назад

My mum has diabetes too, so I’ve learnt to use erythritol (aka monkfruit) as a sugar substitute for my cocktails. Comes without the terrible detriments of aspartame and without the diarrhoea that comes with xylitol. The erythritol works in everything from daiquiris to tommy’s margarita’s to long islands. They have both white sugar and brown sugar variations. 0 calories from the sugar, whatever you consume will just be passed out. Never turned back!

In New England there is a homemade soft drink called a lime rickey that is basically limeade made with soda water, or if you are from Boston, there is the raspberry lime rickey made with lime juice, pureed, strained raspberry and soda. They are sweetened and of course in New England we have always thought that gin improves it no end.

In Upstate New York we also had cherry lime Rickey sodas growing up. I’ve never seen it since I moved to the Midwest

@insomniacsupremacy 18 дней назад

@Xaxon 18 дней назад

On a hot summer day, a nice simple cocktail in this style can be very refreshing. It's not going to be overly sweet and it's easy to tweak to your own personal taste or mood. This would be a great one for me when doing something like spending a weekend sailing, or camping somewhere. It doesn't require a lot of tools, and it's quick and easy to make. Great video. I'm not a huge fan of gin as a rule, but I am looking forward to giving this one a try.

Massaging the lime won't magically produce more juice per lime. It just means that normally people don't extract all the juice out of a lime because not all the pulps are squished. It's an efficiency thing.

Funny story about the lime "hat"- George Cassidy, the biggest bootlegger who sold to Congress and Senators during Prohibition wore an emerald green hat so the capitol police on his payroll would recognize him and allow him access. that's where we get the brand Green Hat Gin. It was once a local favorite, but after the pandemic, Green Hat sold to MGP and is no longer made in DC. One of the many things that's changed about the Chocolate City where I was born and raised, but that's not a story for this video. Love from the three stars and two bars, and a forever Southeast girl.

@530mnorman 15 дней назад

This has been my go-to drink for 20+ years. When I was in college in the early 2000's I tried to order it at a bar, and the bartender didn't know what it was and acted offended that I was ordering it as such instead of just saying "gin, soda, lime." I haven't had the nerve to order a gin rickey by name since then, so this video is incredibly validating. My taste in cocktails has gotten more complex since then, and I usually order something more elevated when I'm out now, but since I'm type 1 diabetic, this is still the best low sugar drink that I know of. Great video!
