About
The Rum Rickey is a bracingly simple and refreshing two-ingredient highball — a rum-based riff on the classic Gin Rickey that strips away sweetness entirely and lets the citrus and carbonation do all the heavy lifting. Fresh lime juice and club soda are the only companions to the spiced rum, resulting in a clean, dry, and intensely refreshing drink that lets the rum's natural flavor shine through the fizz. It is the cocktail equivalent of a cold plunge — uncomplicated, invigorating, and deeply satisfying.
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice.
- Add spiced rum and fresh lime juice.
- Top with chilled club soda and give a brief stir.
- Garnish with a long ribbon of lime peel or a lime wheel on the rim.
- Serve immediately.
