1314.0. "LIME RICKEY" by DANUBE::G_MARTIN (Glenda - the GOOD witch) Mon Aug 08 1988 12:14

    Can anyone out there give me a recipe for lime rickeys?  I've been
    thinking about the "good ole days" when you could get one at the
    corner drug store.  This weather is the perfect time to try a new,
    cool drink recipe.  Thanx in advance for any help.

    I don't know what a drugstore lime rickey is but here's mine.
    
    Per 8 oz tonic(quinine water)
    
    1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
    2 tsp sugar
    
    stir,add ice and cherry
    
    Or omit sugar and add couple tablespoons crushed rasberrries

    To make a pitcher of lime rickeys put a quart of cream soda and
    a tray or two of ice cubes in a pitcher.  Pour the soda in carefully
    so as to not let all the fizz out.  Cut three or four fresh limes
    in half, squeeze the juice into the pitcher and add the rinds as
    well.  If you want, add rasberry syrup to taste.
    
    
1314.3I remember them wellSALEM::MEDVECKYMon Aug 08 1988 14:1512
    Boy, I can remember getting them years ago.....In Lawrence, Morins
    used to serve great ones....alas, I think there out of business...
    
    But, I can recall trying to make them at home....
    
      Start with some club soda.......add juice from 1/3 lime....drop
       in the lime, add 1 teaspoon confectionary sugar....mix...add
       ice.....
    
    I think that will give you something close to the original...

    I read this note yesterday and last night a friend came to see me
    with the fixin's for, you guessed it Lime Rickey's.  She used fresh
    lime juice, club soda and frozen raspberries.  It was very refreshing.

    According to the Old Mr. Boston bartender's guide a ricky is
    " a cross between a collins and a sour-may contain any liquor but
    always contains lime juice,lime rind,and carbonated soda of some
    flavor."
    
    They list about 15 different drinks with different spirits
    and fruits or liquors but all do have lime and carbonated soda.
