What is a rickey, and why raspberry and lime?
A rickey is a tall, tart, fizzy drink: a spirit, fresh lime and soda water, served over ice. It is not sweet by default. The classic version dates to Washington, D.C. in the late 1800s and was first made with bourbon. Gin became the more common base later on.
The raspberry lime rickey you may know from soda fountains is a related idea, a nonalcoholic drink of lime, raspberry syrup and sparkling water. The grown-up version simply adds a spirit to that mix.
The appeal is the balance. Lime gives sharp acid, raspberry gives color and a soft berry note, and soda lifts everything so the glass stays light. It suits a crowd because it is easy to build one glass at a time.
How do you make a raspberry lime rickey at home?
Start with a tall glass full of ice. Add about 2 ounces of your spirit, three quarters of an ounce of fresh lime juice, and a splash of raspberry. The raspberry can be a few muddled fresh berries, or a spoonful of raspberry syrup or puree. Top with soda water and give it a gentle stir.
Taste it and adjust. If it is too sharp, add a little more raspberry. If it is too sweet, squeeze in more lime. Garnish with a lime wheel and a berry or two.
Fresh lime juice matters more than anything else on the list. Bottled juice tends to taste flat in a drink this simple. For the fizz, mixers such as club soda and tonic are the usual shelf to check.
Which spirit works best in a rickey?
Gin is the traditional pick for a lime rickey, since its botanicals sit well with citrus. If you like gin, browse our gin shelf.
Vodka keeps things clean and lets the raspberry and lime lead, which makes it an easy choice for a mixed group. Bully Boy Vodka is one to consider there. Rum gives a rounder, slightly sweeter result, and you can look at rum more broadly if you want options.
For something closer to the original, try bourbon. A bourbon rickey is drier and warmer, and it works well in cooler weather. Bully Boy Maple Bourbon would give it a different character than a standard bottle, so taste as you build.
What if you want something already mixed for a party?
If you would rather not build drinks one at a time, look at the ready-to-drink shelf. You can also browse seltzers, which suit guests who want something light and bubbly.
For a holiday gathering, a mix of options tends to work best: one or two spirits for people who like to mix, something fizzy and ready to pour, and soft drinks and mixers for everyone else. Remember that guests have to be 21 or older to be served, and plan for a safe ride home.
The party planner page is there if you want help thinking through what to bring. And if you are hosting something larger, our kegs page covers keg and special order requests.
