The Gin Rickey, a classic cocktail from the 1880s, achieved literary fame through The Great Gatsby, symbolizing opulence and sophistication in the Roaring Twenties.
The original Gin Rickey was a simple mix of gin, lime juice, and soda water, served over ice, known for its refreshing and effervescent qualities perfect for summertime.
In The Great Gatsby, a scene where Gatsby orders Gin Rickeys for his guests reflects the opulence and decadence of the Jazz Age, making the cocktail a symbol of sophistication.
