Rickey

Named for 19th century Washington DC lobbyist Joe Rickey, this drink was invented in what is now one of the most boring hotel bars in our nation's capitol. 

A highball style cocktail, you can use almost any spirit here, but gin or bourbon are best. 

2oz Spirit
The Juice of Half a Lime
A Couple Ounces Soda Water

Add spirit and lime juice to a glass with ice, top with soda water and stir. Garnish with lime.
