Refreshing Citrus

金瑞奇是一款清爽高球，将杜松子酒与石榴糖浆、新鲜柠檬汁和苏打水混合，放在装有冰块和酸橙装饰的杯中。它属于瑞奇系列饮品，传统上由烈酒、酸橙汁和苏打水不加甜味剂制成——此版本加入石榴糖浆增添色彩和甜度。饮品清淡、柑橘感强，高度适宜持续饮用。

History & Origins

The original Rickey was created in Washington D.C. in the 1880s, reportedly for Democratic lobbyist Colonel Joseph Rickey at Shoomaker's Bar, and was made with bourbon. The gin variation quickly became popular and is now the most recognized Rickey. The original formula used lime rather than lemon; this recipe's use of lemon represents a common modern variation.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: gin botanicals and juniper with fresh lemon citrus and a faint floral pomegranate note from the grenadine. Palate: tart and refreshing with lemon acidity and the gin's botanical complexity, softened slightly by the grenadine's sweetness and extended by the soda water's effervescence. Finish: dry, citrusy, and clean with a lingering botanical note.

Pro Tip

Half-fill the glass with ice before pouring the gin and grenadine, then add the citrus juice and top gently with soda water to minimize carbonation loss.
