The sparkling lime rickey is a simple, refreshing nonalcoholic drink, fit for a hot summer day.

Making this cocktail is as simple as it gets; you only need dark rum, ginger beer, and a quick squeeze of lime.

This cocktail is a refreshing, slightly bitter spin on the Pimm’s Cup, thanks to the addition of Cynar, a vegetal Italian liqueur.

I created this sparkling cocktail for the menu at Keith McNally’s Morandi Italian restaurant.

What makes this recipe special is its lightness: twice as much milk as cream, and the white of the egg whipped stiff and folded into the mix, so it was almost like clouds on top of the eggnog.

Who cares what is in this cocktail? The name sold me when I read it in Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930). This is one of many variations.
