By Type

Rickey Cocktails

Spirit, fresh lime juice, and soda water, built directly over ice — and notably, no sugar at all. Invented in 1880s Washington, D.C., specifically because its namesake preferred his drink without sweetener; it sits between a Collins and a Sour but stays drier and more citrus-forward than either.
