The Gin Rickey is a classic cocktail that originated in the United States, specifically Washington, D.C., in the late 19th century. It’s named after Colonel Joe Rickey, who loved adding lime and soda water to his bourbon. Over time, gin became a popular substitute, and the Gin Rickey was born. This drink is light, refreshing, and perfect for those who prefer a low-sugar cocktail.
