of leftovers. I left this little gift on the Wine Fairy's stairs yesterday.------
And I owe you the drink recipe from the Lime Rickey Scarf, yes?
Lime Rickey Recipe
2 oz of gin
Equal parts lime juice and simple syrup - about an oz of each
3 dashes of bitters
Fill remainder of glass with club soda 6-8 oz and a few ice cubes
Garnish with a lime slice - and if you want, chop and toss in a bit of mint
--------
Moving here about 10 years ago, I'd never even heard of a Rickey. But you can't live in Massachusetts for long without running into the Raspberry Lime Rickey at your local Brigham's or summer ice cream joint. Since trying my first one, I've had Cherry Lime Rickeys, Strawberry Lime Rickeys and Raspberry Lime Rickeys all over New England. Usually they're super sweet fizzy things - a mix of limeade and soda water -- with some sort of added sweet pink juice.
And they're pretty great on a hot day.

But strangely enough, I never do see them anywhere else. Do you?
What's your favorite local cool-off summer drink? (and would it be good if I added booze?)
