Gin Rickey || Maria & Babylon

Location: White Lies Date: 13 January  @abominacion

Bars were far from Maria’s typical hang out, but she’d been such a homebody lately that it was difficult to say no to the invitation of a coworker. Going to White Lies felt dangerous, but she didn’t know how to explain that without sounding like a legitimately crazy person. At least Belial didn’t seem to be bartending, which was a small mercy. 

She was early. She was always early but this time she was even earlier than normal since she’d come from the church rather than her apartment. Slim fingers tucked her dark hair behind her ear as she found herself a place at the bar and tugged out her phone to text the coworker who’d invited her out. 

I’m here. I’m early, but it’s crowded so I’ll try and scope us out a booth so we don’t have to sit at the bar.

Maria set her phone on the bartop, looking around for any open booths without much success. Friday night at a bar. What the hell was she thinking? The bartender came by and she decided to go ahead and order while she waited. “Gin Rickey please, with a sprig of mint,” she said, sighing when boy stared at her blankly. It was an old fashioned drink, hardly popular anymore, but surely not that out of fashion. “Gin and soda with a squeeze of lime and a little sugar, add a bit of mint. Please.” 

Her phone buzzed on the bar. Maria, I’m so sorry - my car won’t start, I’m stuck waiting on AAA. Raincheck? Sighing, she texted back quickly that it was no problem, not to worry and to let her know if they needed anything. If only the text had come before she ordered, she could have just left. Now she was stuck waiting on a drink that probably wouldn’t even be right. Why had she agreed to go out on Friday the 13th?

“Perfect.”

Rose Rickey

Spring has sprung, I’ve gathered heaps of scented flowers in the garden, from hyacinths to daffys, there are carpets of primroses in a variety of pastel hues, the dawn chorus is a lovely music, I’ve watched Canada geese and coots at the park this morning, and started sowing vegetables for a hopefully bountiful harvest... This all makes me rather happy, and I fancy a floral cocktail to sip whilst gazing out at the blooms. Thus, I mixed this beautiful and refreshing Rose Rickey, the taste of my very own roses, stirred with gin! The roses are not flowering yet, but the shrubs and climbers look very promising; and in the meantime, I have this very lovely tipple. Cheers!

Ingredients (serves 1):

3 ice cubes

½ lemon

15 millilitres/1/2 fluid ounce (1 tablespoon) Rose Syrup

30 millilitres/1 fluid ounce (2 tablespoons) Rosie Gin Liqueur

30 millilitres/1 fluid ounce (2 tablespoons) London Dry Gin

chilled seltzer water, to top

a freshly picked primrose, to garnish (optional)

Fill a highball or large glass with ice cubes. Cut lemon into thin slices, and add them to the glass. Pour in Rose Syrup, Rosie Gin Liqueur and Gin. Top with chilled seltzer water. Garnish with primrose, if desired.

Enjoy Rose Rickey immediately. Cheers!

Pro tip for my fellow amateur mixologists out there: you can never go wrong with good gin, fresh citrus, and club soda

Happy National CBD Day & Happy Weekend! I have been looking forward to the weekend since Wednesday! Excited to partner with my friends over at Fountain Beverage Co.to celebrate with their CBD infused sparkling water. I made a jazzed up Gin Rickey, which you can make Low ABV/Spirit Free with the REFRESHING Cucumber flavor.  Gin, lime & mint come together for the most refreshing bevy; THEN it’s all…
