ORIGIN OF GIN "RICKEY. p"

Can't we settle the origin Of the
gin "rickey?" Was II originated
in Washington and who originated
IL? I've seen II stated that Col.
Hyde Hickey, famous Missourian,
got the barkeep at Shoomaker's
old place here to make him a
whiskey rickey by diluting straight
bourbon with seltzer and a dash OF
lime juice. But the colonel didn't
drink gin. So the story Is that
colored men in Washington, who
were gin imbibers. started the
gin rickey after they tasted the
whiskey rickey.
Maybe some of the ld.timers
in Washington will furnish your
column with the true facts.
