Lime Rickey

Dave and I made this a few times- it was very refreshing! When we made it for Halloween, we added green food coloring (it looked sorta like Ecto Cooler).

Prep Time: 15 minutes, plus chilling time.

Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups gin
• 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 1/2 quarts chilled soda water
• Thin slices of lime

Preparation

1. In a 1-quart pan, mix sugar with 1/2 cup water and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Let cool or chill.

2. In a 3-quart pitcher, combine gin, lime juice, and the cooled syrup. Cover and freeze until ready to serve.

3. To serve, add soda water. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with lime.
