Rickeys are close akin to Sours in nature, but contain a minimum of
sweetening. The original, Lime Rickey, was prepared by crushing half
a lime and adding the other ingredients, but since that time many recipes
have come to light where lime or lemon juice is used.
All Rickeys are characterized by a predominance of lemon or lime.
However, sugar syrup should always be used, to suit the taste, at least
to the point where this delicious beverage would not lose its individuality.
Service should be in rickey glasses (6 ounce, low-base, flared rim).
However, a 6-ounce highball glass may be used.
