Random Word Post – rickey

I find a random word by flipping through my 2003 The New Webster’s Concise Dictionary and write a quick – often silly – little post about it. # “rickey – A drink consisting of liquor, usually gin, sweetened with lime juice, and carbonated water. Origin unknown.” I’m not much of a drinker, but the phrase “sweetened with lime juice” really threw me. Is that how you normally sweeten gin?
