RICKEYS
The Rickey owes its name to Colonel "Joe" Rickey, though an in–
terested public has long persisted in referring to him as "Colonel
Ji,m" Rickey. Colonel Rickey had ' been a lobbyist in Washington,
and as such used to buy drinks for members of Congress in the glam–
orous days before they had come to depend upon the discreet activities
of gentlemen in green hats to keep them wet while they voted
dry.
The drink was invented and named for him at Shoemaker's, famous
in Washington as a Congressional hangout.

SANGAREES
The Sangaree probably acquired its name for one or two reasons,
or both. The word is derived from the Spanisfi·
sanguia,
meaning
"bloody," which itself comes from the Latin
sanguif
(blood), and a
sangaree is red, or reddish--or was as originally made. The other
reason for the name may be that it is supposed to have a cooling effect
upon the blood.
