We’ve tried our hand at a Gin Rickey and a Gin & Tonic, of course, but this was a first for the Chinatown Ricky! It was not a disappointment. The lime and mint gave the drink a refreshing crisp while the sherry added a nutty twist. We threw in some festive personalized Stir Sticks and Cocktail Napkins because it’s Friday and the party pants are on.
