For a sweeter Rickey, increase the sugar slightly. Taste and adjust to your preference. Use the freshest lime juice possible for the best flavor. Experiment with different gins to find your favorite flavor profile in this cocktail. Consider muddling a few mint leaves with the lime juice and sugar for a Mint Gin Rickey variation.
