How to Make an Eastside Rickey, the Cocktail That Will Turn Vodka Soda Drinkers Into Gin Fans

The Eastside Rickey is a effervescent, refreshing cocktail made with gin, lime juice, simple syrup, mint, cucumbers and soda water. The addition of the cucumber plays beautifully with the mint in the drink, and makes it a variation on the classic Southside cocktail. Craft cocktail bartender and Robb Report columnist Jason O’Bryan shows how home bartenders can mix the Eastside Rickey cocktail at home and why vodka soda drinkers he knows have come to love it too.
