Rickey Non Alcoholic Recipes

CLASSIC LIME RICKEY

Steps:

• Add the lime juice and alcoholic or non-alcoholic mixer (whiskey, gin, caper juice or simple syrup) to highball glass and stir.
• Fill with ice and top with sparkling water. Garnish with lime wedges.

CHERRY-LIME RICKEY

Steps:

• Combine the cherries, sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Carefully smash the cherries with a potato masher, then simmer the mixture until slightly reduced and dark red, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Strain the mixture through a strainer into a heatproof container, pressing on the cherry solids to extract all the juice. There should be about 1 3/4 cups of syrup. Let cool for 30 minutes.
• Combine the cherry syrup with the limeade and lime juice in a pitcher and stir well. There will be about 3 cups total.
• To serve: Either stir in 3 cups water if you want a still drink, or mix equal parts of the drink mix with seltzer in a glass. Serve over ice with frozen cherries and lime wheels.
