📜 History

The Cherry Lime Rickey is a variation of the classic Rickey, which was invented in Washington D.C. in the 1880s at Shoomaker's Bar. The original Rickey was an alcoholic drink named after Democratic lobbyist Colonel Joe Rickey. The non-alcoholic cherry lime version became popular at American soda fountains in the early 20th century, offering the same refreshing lime-and-soda combination with the addition of sweet cherry flavoring that appealed to all ages.
