Bourbon Rickey Cocktail Recipe
A Bourbon Rickey mixes bourbon, lime, and club soda into a cool and sharp drink with surprisingly deep flavor. It’s easy to make and lighter than most whiskey cocktails, so it’s perfect when you want something crisp without any sweetness.
Equipment
- Highball glass
- Jigger
- Citrus squeezer
- Bar Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 oz bourbon
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 4 oz club soda
- lime wedge or wheel for garnish optional
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice. Cold ice keeps the drink crisp.
- Pour in 2 ounces of bourbon. Choose something smooth that blends well with the lime.
- Add 1/2 ounce of fresh lime juice. Rolling the lime on the counter before cutting helps you get more juice.
- Top with 4 ounces of club soda. Pour slowly so you keep the fizz.
- Stir gently with a bar spoon. You only need a quick mix to bring everything together.
- Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel if you like a little extra zest.
