RICKEYS The Rickey owes its name to Colonel "Joe" Rickey, though an in– terested public has long persisted in referring to him as "Colonel Ji,m" Rickey. Colonel Rickey had ' been a lobbyist in Washington, and as such used to buy drinks for members of Congress in the glam– orous days before they had come to depend upon the discreet activities of gentlemen in green hats to keep them wet while they voted dry. The drink was invented and named for him at Shoemaker's, famous in Washington as a Congressional hangout. GIN RICKEY Juice and rind of one Lime Lump of lee (goblet) Gin to suit customer Fill from siphon Note: Other Rickeys get their names from the liquor taking the place of Gin in following the formula. SANGAREES The Sangaree probably acquired its name for one or two reasons, or both. The word is derived from the Spanisfi· sanguia, meaning "bloody," which itself comes from the Latin sanguif (blood), and a sangaree is red, or reddish--or was as originally made. The other reason for the name may be that it is supposed to have a cooling effect upon the blood.
