I've never seen one made with bottled soda. Green River soda was a Chicago/Midwest drink. Didn't really have much distribution in the northeast. We had to make ours from scratch - not as lucky as those Midwesterners. Here's a picture of the cherry variant in a "Coke" glass. <http://community.webshots.com/photo/yahoo/65522133/1065522312044692859eaOMRx> A New England version. <http://www.hollyeats.com/images/NewEngland/Bartleys-RaspLimeRickey.jpg> Rickeys back in the 50's in the New York metro area were made with fruit-flavored syrup, shaved ice and carbonated water. Lime rickeys in my parents' soda fountain were made in a tall and narrow glass. Building it from the bottom: lime syrup (about 1 1/2 ounces), a squeeze of fresh lime (and a wedge or a few dropped into the glass), carbonated water 1/2 way up the glass, shaved ice to fill about 3/4 of the glass, carbonated water on top. The shaved ice floated, so a maraschino cherry that they used for a garnish sat proudly on top of it all. Drink with a straw. Any other flavor rickey used part lime syrup and part the other flavor, to taste. The most popular flavors were plain lime or other flavors based on lime, but augmented - cherry, strawberry and orange (which was made with about 1/2 carbonated water and 1/2 orange juice with orange wedges added). The glasses they were often served in were the tall highball glass (10-12 ounces) called "rickey" or "collins" glasses in the northeastern U.S. Sometimes also called "tall iced tea" glasses here in the south where I live. Here's a gin rickey <http://www.bolscocktails.com/cocktail-detail.asp?d=19553> as interpreted by the gang at Bols. The glass: <http://www.awesomedrinks.com/glassware_collins.html> We used the frosted ones. I love the way the copywriter transformed a glass we used 50 years ago into a hip 21st century number. "Futuristic look"... Bwah... Pastorio |
