The garnish is an entire lemon's peel, twisted so it rolls around the inside of the glass - a lemon version of the "horse's neck" garnish more commonly made with orange peel. It has become popular to make Rickeys with sugar or sugar syrup, but this is not authentic. |

Rickeys are highballs made using soda water and some lime juice, and are anecdotally credited to Jim Rickey, a guest of Shoemaker's restaurant in the USA. Given that rum and lime (for vitamins) was already well-established hundreds of years ago in various navies, attributing the drink to Rickey in 1900 may not be entirely justified, but it's completely possible that a previously-named drink was named for Colonel Rickey. |
