Notes:
This simple riff on the classic Sidecar swaps orange liqueur for the more complex Heirloom Pineapple Amaro. Made with orange, grapefruit, lemon and lime peels, Pineapple Amaro ups the ante on the citrus notes while bringing a bittered, tropical edge to this beloved beverage.

Notes:
Named after Colonel Joseph Kyle Rickey, the Gin Rickey was born in 1880 at Shoemaker's Bar in Washington DC. The Colonel drank whiskey with lime and seltzer, and so the drink was whiskey based until around 1882 when the more lime-friendly spirit of gin became a more popular addition. The Colonel was adamant about sweetener in his refreshment, stating that "sugar warms the blood", and so the drink is traditionally made sans sugar. We find the cocktail is more balanced with even just a splash of simple syrup.
