lime rickey

Tart soda cocktail

A lime rickey is a carbonated drink made with lime juice, simple syrup, and soda water, traditionally served over ice.

The original version, sometimes called a Rickey, included gin or bourbon.

The nonalcoholic lime rickey became a soda fountain staple: We stopped for lime rickeys after the movie.
