Decorating the Rickey
A cocktail is never complete without a bit of festive décor. You can add lime wedges to this glass, but we think a couple of raspberries on a toothpick and mint leaves sprinkled on top showcase what this cocktail is all about. Of course, a decorative glass straw can also help make this popular cocktail classic look fancy.
