Made with just three ingredients, a gin rickey cocktail gets its signature flavor from tangy lime juice and bright, juniper-flavored gin. Mineral-rich club soda joins the two, giving the drink a refreshing, effervescent finish. It&#8217;s perfectly tart and surprisingly balanced.<\/p>\n<p>The rickey got its start in the 1880s as a bourbon drink. Joe Rickey, a lobbyist living in Washington, D.C., asked a bartender at Shoomaker&#8217;s to add lime juice to his bourbon and soda. The gin version then gained popularity in the early 20th century when F. Scott Fitzgerald (a fan of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/gin-cocktails\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/gin-cocktails\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">gin cocktails<\/a>) featured it in his 1920s-era novel, <em>The Great Gatsby<\/em>.
