Inspire Happy Hour Cocktail – Gin Rickey

Celebrate your hard work with this week's Inspire Happy Hour Cocktail, the Gin Rickey

Well I don't know about where you live, but here in Tulsa, Oklahoma summer is officially here. What better way to kick off the hot weather but with a refreshing vintage cocktail. Although the Gin Rickey was created in the late 1890's, it became popular in the 1920's due to its main ingredient, gin.
