I'm not going to lie, this barely seems a 'recipe' or a 'cocktail' but Anders is so damn entertaining that I'd probably watch him do it with every spirit on his shelf. I'm in the DC area and I've made a bunch of these in honor of the official cocktail. Very refreshing on hot days, and we get some.
Hi Anders ! Good to see that our favorite barman is out of hospital and doing what he does best - making cocktails for his devoted subscribers ! All the best to you & Az ! That dog of yours really knows how to sit quietly at the bar without bothering anyone !
My dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so my cocktail hobby/addiction lost a fan, but now I'm thinking I'll just start making him a bunch of Rickey's and see which one he likes more.
Diabetes really sucks and ruins a lot of things. In case you aren’t aware, alcohol converts to sugar in the body. You may want to have him check with his doctor, so he knows what he can and can’t do with diabetes.
@leeanderson7339 he is allowed small amounts of sugar, since insulin breaks down a lot of the sugar. He just needs to control his sugar intake, and alcohol is not as big of a problem like say hard carbs and sugars. And plus in a cocktail it's a relatively small amount of alcohol.
My mum has diabetes too, so I’ve learnt to use erythritol (aka monkfruit) as a sugar substitute for my cocktails. Comes without the terrible detriments of aspartame and without the diarrhoea that comes with xylitol. The erythritol works in everything from daiquiris to tommy’s margarita’s to long islands. They have both white sugar and brown sugar variations. 0 calories from the sugar, whatever you consume will just be passed out. Never turned back!
We had a wonderful dog from the Dominican Republic (Nina) that looked very much like your dog-she was a total sweetheart. So i always look to see your dog “helping out”
I love how you identify your sources. Respect! I also enjoyed how you experimented with three other variations of the cocktail, shedding light on the versatility of this simple lime + club soda template.
Anders, props for using Scofflaw! Love it. Also just purchased 4 rocks glasses and 2 coupe glasses, and I'm looking forward to putting them to use next weekend! Cheers from a fellow Chicagoan.
Definitely enjoyed this video and will try making a Rickey with Hendricks. Is that a sin? Also, just made a purchase from Chinola. Very excited to try their spirits!
I do like seeing Freja - and Az sneaked in to the edge of the sponsor ad, too! It's great that your sponsor ad reads are as interesting, practical and useful as the main video - good job, Anders, Az and Freja!
About a year ago I stumbled across Rickey's in an old cocktail book I have. I made a gin rickey first and it was ok... but I wanted to get weird: Rye Whiskey Elderflower Tonic Lime Juice This a VERY different tasting cocktail. I now enjoy them during hot afternoons.
This is making me think Toni Basil shouldn’t have sung, “Hey Mickey” but “Hey Rickey” - “oh, Rickey you’re so fine!” Never tried one, but might be in order from this hot weekend!
Not just 1 version, but 4 Gin Rickeys!…..beautiful Anders….I like the first version because of the tartness, but don’t mind adding a little sugar for the “Tom Collin’s” path!🤗🤗🤗👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️ have a great weekend and as always “CHEERS!”🥃
How bout dat! I been making these for years, usually with lemon in them coz its easier to find... Never knew it had a name! Doesn't really matter I guess, I'm having a beer now...
Started making these months ago, I had to look up the name after putting together the ingredients.I didn't use the lime shell, and used Gun Powder gin, and Schweppes club soda given to me as a Christmas gift.
Massaging the lime won't magically produce more juice per lime. It just means that normally people don't extract all the juice out of a lime because not all the pulps are squished. It's an efficiency thing.
Once again, the highlight of my week, The Anders Show video ✌ I just like your style! I actually just got my first Old Tom Gin ever (it's Swedish, "Hernö", unopened), so I might just try it in this.
I'm a gin and tonic guy. However, sometimes the tonic is a little cloying. Then, I do half tonic and half club soda. I call it a gin tocky. I know, one of you guys are going to run with this and get all famous, but that's okay. It's my gift to the world. You're welcome.
this is the one of the best coctails for one of my friends that doesn't like sweet drinks and sometimes he wants me to make him "some good drink". this does the trick in many cases. Just changing the base for practically any spirit.
This is what I usually drink at home but I do like it sweet. When I was a teenager I worked at an ice cream place that sold lime rickeys and raspberry lime rickeys every summer so I guess that's what I'm used to. I use liquid sucralose which works a lot better in that application than in coffee. I'm still waiting for it catch on in bars, I don't like explaining my order, even when it's this simple.
I’ve got sparkling water on tap so I make a lot of drinks like this. Whiskey highball (w/ scotch & lemon) and Ranch Water are the two most common but love a gin Rickey too
Ten years ago it was relatively easy to get Genever gin here in south Florida. I’m told that winter residents from Quebec liked it. Now it’s been extirpated: ALL GIN MUST BE DRY GIN! Pretty much all other distilled liquors must have a flavor and sugar added, though. Like rum.
The first drink I bought legally, I just remembered, was Wild Turkey and soda, with a slice of lemon. We're talking 1974 here! Sounds like a Joe Rickey to me. Thanks for the memory!
Hey Anders glad to see you are on the mend. Coincidentally, I happened to see Topo Chico for sale today (which was the first time I saw it anywhere) and pick up a bottle based upon your previous videos. Then this evening I watched this video and alas you're using it. Can't wait to try all four "Ricky" versions tomorrow. Happy your back behind the bar...keep the videos coming. Best to Az and Freja!
I’ll be trying these. I usually switch to mostly lime cocktails in the hot summertime and may even try this with cachaca, my new discovery that got me out of a margarita slump. ;-)
Funny story about the lime "hat"- George Cassidy, the biggest bootlegger who sold to Congress and Senators during Prohibition wore an emerald green hat so the capitol police on his payroll would recognize him and allow him access. that's where we get the brand Green Hat Gin. It was once a local favorite, but after the pandemic, Green Hat sold to MGP and is no longer made in DC. One of the many things that's changed about the Chocolate City where I was born and raised, but that's not a story for this video. Love from the three stars and two bars, and a forever Southeast girl.
In New England there is a homemade soft drink called a lime rickey that is basically limeade made with soda water, or if you are from Boston, there is the raspberry lime rickey made with lime juice, pureed, strained raspberry and soda. They are sweetened and of course in New England we have always thought that gin improves it no end.
I like gin rickeys ; sometimes i use fever tree mexican lime soda, but i feel it's a rickey-manqué since its quite sweet. That Martin Millers is quite an unusual gin but i imagine it could be good in this. I find it harmonises well with elderflower tonic .
I love how easy this cocktail recipe is to modify, hubs and I are planning to try a couple of variants, especially the Joe Rickey. Just one question - if you make it with moonshine, does that make it a Rickey Bobby?
This video made me try the drink...it's wonderful and I'm a diabetic so it's perfect...try other the versions he showed but the original...Fords gin is a delite glad I discovered it...great addition to my gin collection.
Rum Rickey? That sounds like it would be a good combo! Also, I love how patient Freja waited for the treats during the Chinola segment. Much good pup! ❤
Learnt our go to drink of choice has a name, The Gin Rickey! For variation we'll add a shot of vodka, which really amps things up. Or do the Aussie version, Bundaberg Rum, lime and soda. #Cheers
Dry Gin Rickey on the agenda tonight! Thank you for the other Gin recommendations too. Not sure I will try the Joe Rickey. I prefer my whiskey in old fashioneds, so changing that with bubbly water seems wrong.....lol
7:20 what’s in the middle is what the sandwich is called😂 ice/lime/ice would be a lime sandwich not an ice sandwich. I always love your videos and have really enjoyed trying so many cocktails I have not had before. You rock!
Who doesn't love an aggressive bubble?
Visit chinola.com/ & use code ANDERS10 for $10 off the Chinola shop!
Good to see you back. Did the surgery change your voice a bit?
Topo is el top-o!
Malört Ricky… just saying
“Aggressive Bubbles”… love the term… love the Topo Chico!
I'm not going to lie, this barely seems a 'recipe' or a 'cocktail' but Anders is so damn entertaining that I'd probably watch him do it with every spirit on his shelf. I'm in the DC area and I've made a bunch of these in honor of the official cocktail. Very refreshing on hot days, and we get some.
Yeah, it's right on the blurred line of longdrink and cocktail.
Why would you lie?
The Gin Rickey is an awesome drink, and I'm glad you featured it. I think the absence of sugar makes it more refreshing on a hot summer day.
Hi Anders ! Good to see that our favorite barman is out of hospital and doing what he does best - making cocktails for his devoted subscribers ! All the best to you & Az ! That dog of yours really knows how to sit quietly at the bar without bothering anyone !
I am on a keto diet, so any drinks without added sugar are essential. Thank you.
I was about to skip past the ad, then freya was being adorable and you were making another cocktail, so I didn’t lol
When the ad is just him doing the show, with a cute dog.
My dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so my cocktail hobby/addiction lost a fan, but now I'm thinking I'll just start making him a bunch of Rickey's and see which one he likes more.
I'm a fan of Ranch Water, so I can recommend that one for sure. I'll be trying other Rickey's for sure.
@@sheldoniusRex he's a fan of gin and tequila cocktails I've made before, so I'll try those out for sure.
Diabetes really sucks and ruins a lot of things. In case you aren’t aware, alcohol converts to sugar in the body. You may want to have him check with his doctor, so he knows what he can and can’t do with diabetes.

Honestly the advertisement with the dog alongside was a pretty good video on its own 😂
That was hilarious and VERY entertaining
Very smart move to include that cute doggo 😬
We had a wonderful dog from the Dominican Republic (Nina) that looked very much like your dog-she was a total sweetheart. So i always look to see your dog “helping out”
My heart was torn. Ad boooo.. PUPPER! Ok, fine, you got me. 🥰😂
I like how the camera person is whipping treats at the doggo to keep him there.
Thank you for finally highlighting the official cocktail of DC! My go-to simple mixed drink.
What I love about the Rickeys is how much experimental you can get with it, it also is very tasty with infused type gins
I love how you can basically add as much or as little simple syrup as you want, so it really feels like a customizable gin & tonic.
I love how you identify your sources. Respect! I also enjoyed how you experimented with three other variations of the cocktail, shedding light on the versatility of this simple lime + club soda template.
Started drinking these about a month ago. Love being ahead of the curve.
Boom. Simple. I am in!
Anders, props for using Scofflaw! Love it.
Also just purchased 4 rocks glasses and 2 coupe glasses, and I'm looking forward to putting them to use next weekend! Cheers from a fellow Chicagoan.
Can’t go wrong with Scofflaw! Hope you get good use out of the glassware. Cheers
Tell Freya I said hi 👋🏻
Definitely enjoyed this video and will try making a Rickey with Hendricks. Is that a sin? Also, just made a purchase from Chinola. Very excited to try their spirits!
Amazing! What drink will you be making with mango?
@@ChinolaOfficial Just got an email with the Dominican Daiquiri recipe so that seems like a good one to start with.
I do like seeing Freja - and Az sneaked in to the edge of the sponsor ad, too! It's great that your sponsor ad reads are as interesting, practical and useful as the main video - good job, Anders, Az and Freja!

Seeing your video pop up is the always the best start to my Saturday, sending cheers from Melbourne Aus 🍹
Cheers! Enjoy the weekend

Sometimes you've got to sweeten things up. Nothing wrong with that. Cheers!
Stumbled across your channel, shared with my friends. We are enjoying your stories and recipes. 😁
Love me a gin rickey, the ol' air conditioning in a glass!
How bout dat! I been making these for years, usually with lemon in them coz its easier to find... Never knew it had a name! Doesn't really matter I guess, I'm having a beer now...
needed this. I feel like I should know these, but I'm just happy to have em in the arsenal for the summer
Started making these months ago, I had to look up the name after putting together the ingredients.I didn't use the lime shell, and used Gun Powder gin, and Schweppes club soda given to me as a Christmas gift.
Massaging the lime won't magically produce more juice per lime. It just means that normally people don't extract all the juice out of a lime because not all the pulps are squished. It's an efficiency thing.
That's why he said 'easier to juice' , and didn't say 'produces more juice'.
I appreciate this channel!
Once again, the highlight of my week, The Anders Show video ✌ I just like your style! I actually just got my first Old Tom Gin ever (it's Swedish, "Hernö", unopened), so I might just try it in this.
A mentos and Coke make an aggressive bubble. Love the entertainment (and the information) that Anders provides!
I'm a gin and tonic guy. However, sometimes the tonic is a little cloying. Then, I do half tonic and half club soda. I call it a gin tocky. I know, one of you guys are going to run with this and get all famous, but that's okay. It's my gift to the world. You're welcome.
Buy better tonic! ;)
this is the one of the best coctails for one of my friends that doesn't like sweet drinks and sometimes he wants me to make him "some good drink". this does the trick in many cases. Just changing the base for practically any spirit.
A sprig of rosemary as a garnish adds to the piney notes.

Digging the Howler Bros gear. They make great stuff! Also Gin Rickie’s are amazing
The first drink I bought legally, I just remembered, was Wild Turkey and soda, with a slice of lemon. We're talking 1974 here! Sounds like a Joe Rickey to me. Thanks for the memory!
I make mine with bourbon, so good
I love the Gin Rickey! I add 0.75oz of lime juice for mine but I have a sour tooth.
I love the Chinola Passionfruit, can’t wait to find the Mango! 😋👍
I haven't had a gin rickey in a while. I'm off to get my limes and topo chico. Thanks for inspiring my drinks this weekend.
These have become a go-to for my wife and me. The lack of sugar makes them a healthier option (not that drinking is healthy, but whatever).
Hey Anders glad to see you are on the mend.

So I’ve been making gin Ricky’s forever and never knew it. Thanks!!! I always learn something watching this channel. So great
THANK YOU for the no added sugar! I am a fan of cocktails, but find the liquors/syrups overwhelming during the hot months.
I’ll be trying these. I usually switch to mostly lime cocktails in the hot summertime and may even try this with cachaca, my new discovery that got me out of a margarita slump. ;-)
Have to make this when the sun and warmth return again, sipping a good drink on the balcony.
I add the gin and half lemon into a blender … then strain it into a tall glass with ice.. then top it with sparkling water.

In Upstate New York we also had cherry lime Rickey sodas growing up. I’ve never seen it since I moved to the Midwest
They sound fantastic. Will have to hunt down a recipe. 😊
Looking forward to trying several of these.
These remind me of the highballs i had when i was visiting my son in Japan.
Your voice sounds a bit deeper and definitely richer, good for you Anders!
I like gin rickeys ; sometimes i use fever tree mexican lime soda, but i feel it's a rickey-manqué since its quite sweet. That Martin Millers is quite an unusual gin but i imagine it could be good in this. I find it harmonises well with elderflower tonic .

a nice funky Jamaican rum like smith and cross would be amazing here
Love the video!
Love the stories behind the cocktails. I feel like the gin was starting to hit him toward the end haha.
Since I don't like sweet drinks these are right up my ally.
alley
She might be sharing them with her partner in crime. In wartime.
I love the original Bourbon Rickey!
This video made me try the drink...it's wonderful and I'm a diabetic so it's perfect...try other the versions he showed but the original...Fords gin is a delite glad I discovered it...great addition to my gin collection.
...oops meant to say the original as my favorite...just bought the book...it must have more delicious drinks in it...😊
Loved the video! I used the Joe Rickey to lose a decent amount of weight while still enjoying a drink or two! Thanks for sharing this!
i really dig that shirt. great video man keep up the good work!!
I tried it since my wife isn’t a sugar baby and I really like it. I added a little sprinkle of salt. Very good! Kinda like a Mexican lemonade
It's so funny to me to hear my name so many times in one video lol
Rum Rickey? That sounds like it would be a good combo!
Also, I love how patient Freja waited for the treats during the Chinola segment. Much good pup! ❤
The dog is everything!
My man Anders seems to have a case of the sniffles! Get well soon!!
Lol, not knowing this is a recipe cocktail. It's my favorite way to drink gin
I will be trying these drinks this weekend! Thank you, Anders!✨
Learnt our go to drink of choice has a name, The Gin Rickey! For variation we'll add a shot of vodka, which really amps things up. Or do the Aussie version, Bundaberg Rum, lime and soda. #Cheers
I use Torani sugar-free sweetener as simple syrup to lessen the sugar in my cocktails. I also use it as the base to make grenadine and other syrups.
Dry Gin Rickey on the agenda tonight! Thank you for the other Gin recommendations too. Not sure I will try the Joe Rickey. I prefer my whiskey in old fashioneds, so changing that with bubbly water seems wrong.....lol
How is this video only 9 days old and I've had Gin Ricky multiple times since it was posted!?!?!?!
Phillip Marlowe in Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye liked gin rickeys with Rose's Lime Juice.
11:52 Anders, you're moving in the right direction. How 'bout a 15 minute film for our next installment?
My all-time favorite summer drink.
Then I guess my all time go to drink anymore is a rif on a Rickey. Whether it is Gin, Mezcal, Vodka, Topochico, Fever-Tree
Shoomaker is probably an Anglicisation of Schumacher. Which means Shoemaker in German. So it is the things on your feet, in a way.
Mmm Summer in a Glass
Thank you so much for doing a non-sweet cocktail! Much appreciated.
We tried both the Gin Rickey and the Joe Rickey tonight, both exceeded expectations! Delicious and Nutritious! 😜 Going to become a staple.
I'm from the Netherlands and you're the only person I've ever heard say jenever correctly on UA-cam lol
this does wonders to my aspirations in health, enjoyment and finances!
How about an episode on no added sugar cocktails? Ranch Water, Whiskey Highball, Salty Dog etc.
I'm fond of Hendricks gin. I think the cucumber and rose would add a depth of flavor to this drink.
"What happened to your face? Are you crying?"
"No, I was hit by an aggressive bubble."
Love to see you make coco locos. Cheers !
Thanks for the video
I have an idea for a video, a cocktail with non-perishable ingredients, which could be really convenient for the home bar
As a person named Ricky, I feel obligated to watch the entire video
7:20 what’s in the middle is what the sandwich is called😂 ice/lime/ice would be a lime sandwich not an ice sandwich. I always love your videos and have really enjoyed trying so many cocktails I have not had before. You rock!
Anders! Did you notice any change in your pallette after the surgery? Always wonder how much the nose messes with our tastes.
amazing man, amazing drink
Hey Anders, could u make a video about bitters, and how to store them ? how long do the last ?
My wife's favorite. We have a local distiller that makes a Jalapeño gin.
Chaotic Anders energy.
I used bitter lemon soda
I like those shorter highball glasses. Maybe it is the irony.
