Ingredients

  • 2 oz gin
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup seltzer water
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup optional
  • ice

Instructions

  • To a highball glass, add lime juice, gin, and seltzer water
  • For a sweeter drink, add maple syrup to taste and stir to combine(see notes)
  • Add ice to fill the glass

Notes

Gin Rickey is classically made with little to no sweetener. Personally, I like to add 1 - 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup to sweeten it just a touch.
