gin rickey

Juniper lime cocktail

A gin rickey is a highball cocktail made with gin, lime juice, and carbonated water, served over ice.

The drink is tart and refreshing, not sweet like many cocktails: I'll have a gin rickey.

The broader category of rickeys can be made with other spirits, but the gin version remains the classic.
