[@markzalubas5793]

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.

Yeah, it's right on the blurred line of longdrink and cocktail.

[@soDancerxx]

You're the only KZbinr whose ads I don't skip, it was such a great idea to have Freja with you during those! I'll have to rewatch this ad, as I think you were showing us a cocktail recipe, I just did'nt listen because my whole attention was on the most cutest doggo there!

[@Petrosman]

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]

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

[@Petrosman]

@@sheldoniusRex he's a fan of gin and tequila cocktails I've made before, so I'll try those out for sure.

[@leeanderson7339]

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]

@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]

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!

[@bob___]

The Gin Rickey is an awesome drink, and I'm glad you featured it. I think the absence of sugar makes it more refreshing on a hot summer day.

[@roguerebel2023]

I love a good Gin and Tonic, so all I have to do is basically swap the tonic for bubbly water and use more lime. Gonna make it for sure!

[@Xaxon]

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.

[@AndersErickson]

Exactly why I like this one too. Cheers

I'm a gin and tonic guy. However, sometimes the tonic is a little cloying. Then, I do half tonic and half club soda. I call it a gin tocky. I know, one of you guys are going to run with this and get all famous, but that's okay. It's my gift to the world. You're welcome.

Love a gin rickey. When I make mine, I tend to go easy on the lime juice and experiment with different gins and different flavored bubbly waters. Good times!

[@KhanhTheLearner]

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.

[@smoath]

That's why he said 'easier to juice' , and didn't say 'produces more juice'.

Learnt our go to drink of choice has a name, The Gin Rickey! For variation we'll add a shot of vodka, which really amps things up. Or do the Aussie version, Bundaberg Rum, lime and soda. #Cheers

[@crauxspeaks6079]

I love how easy this cocktail recipe is to modify, hubs and I are planning to try a couple of variants, especially the Joe Rickey. Just one question - if you make it with moonshine, does that make it a Rickey Bobby?

[@TechNMusic]

About a year ago I stumbled across Rickey's in an old cocktail book I have. I made a gin rickey first and it was ok... but I wanted to get weird: Rye Whiskey Elderflower Tonic Lime Juice This a VERY different tasting cocktail. I now enjoy them during hot afternoons.

[@AndersErickson]

Sounds refreshing

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.

Ten years ago it was relatively easy to get Genever gin here in south Florida. I’m told that winter residents from Quebec liked it. Now it’s been extirpated: ALL GIN MUST BE DRY GIN! Pretty much all other distilled liquors must have a flavor and sugar added, though. Like rum.

No, no-the recipe from Rickey is the primary source; its citation by Wondrich is a SECONDARY source. ; )

[@WastrelWay]

Test your bartender by asking for a gin & soda with lime, and if he says "A gin rickey" he's a keeper. Topo Chico is a good choice. Some people say "tonic" which now, shamefully. has sugar in it. Schweppes's was the last tonic water to cave in to that trend, in the 1990's, and they all have sugar now. By the way, I asked for a "gin & soda with lime" at an Applebee's in Lubbock, Texas, and the young lady brought me a glass of a brown concoction. I asked, "What's this?" She said, "You didn't say what kind of soda, so I used Coke."

[@rachaelhuff]

This gives me a reason to buy a bottle of old Tom gin 👏🏻 Now what if you took this “Rickey template” and along with the base spirit change up, you change the soda water too? Sort of like a Wisconsin Old Fashioned?? Sweet, sour etc. Then what would this be, hmm I wonder 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️😄 Cheers! 🥃

I'm normally a gin and tonic kinda girl but, l bought myself a Gin Advent Calendar from a local distillery and have been wanting a way to sample the various gins without adulterating the flavours too much. This sounds perfect. Shameless plug for the Reefton Distilling co here in Aotearoa/ New Zealand. They are making some outstanding gins with native plants and herbs as some of the botanicals. Their advent calendar was a great way to try them. Current favourites are Summer gin and Little Biddy Rose Gold. 🍸
