There aren't many drinks as easy to make or as refreshing to drink on a hot summer day than the Gin Rickey. This classic Washington DC drink is named after Col. Joe Rickey. The Colonel is one of those great drinkers from the 19th century who seemed to have done everything and been everywhere, including spending time lobbying Congress and drinking a lot in a famous Washington DC bar called Shoemakers.
