From the Bartender
The Gin Rickey was born in 1880s Washington D.C., named after Democratic lobbyist Colonel Joe Rickey - the original was made with bourbon, but gin became the definitive version and was so popular it was declared D.C.'s official cocktail in 2011. Unlike a gimlet or Tom Collins, the Rickey uses no sugar, making it one of the most genuinely dry and refreshing highballs in the classic canon.
