What about the Non-Alcoholic version..? Golux Ex Machina

Non-alcoholic Lime Rickey

The Lime Ricky of my personal experience is a soda fountain drink in the Boston area; it consisted of a large glass with an entire lime sliced into 4 to 8 wedges first squeezed to liberate their juice and then dropped into the glass; over this ice cubes, followed by a raspberry syrup and finally filled with soda water. Done right the red of the syrup is dark on the bottom, rising to nearly clear at the top. This maybe augmented with a bit of chocolate syrup; though at that point one is heading into the territory of French sodas. You can still order these at most places in the Boston area that have a soda fountain. I've never see experienced them as a cocktail. Bhyde 22:17, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There needs to be a subsection on non-alocoholic versions. I thought language about such lime Rickey's was included in the article before. The Arctic Circle restaurant chain in the Mountain West has had non-alcoholic Lime Rickey's on their menus for decades. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.252.4.21 (talk) 14:40, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If memory serves, the Lime Rickey I knew as a child in New York was made of lime soda with cherry syrup added. I believe that Seven Up was sometimes substituted for the lime soda. Kostaki mou (talk) 17:35, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Largely not about the Rickey

A large portion of this article is about Shoomaker's and various people's involvement in it, not about the Rickey itself. Would it be reasonable to make another article about Shoomaker's and Col. Rickey? Or, if Shoomaker's isn't that notable, delete all that Shoomaker's stuff? Or...? Also, sometimes Rickey gets the initial cap and sometimes not. We need to decide whether it's a Rickey or a rickey. ? Sylvia A (talk) 19:40, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article is internally inconsistent.

The latter half of this article is consistent with my understanding based on Washington post reporting that the drink was created in DC. The first section however credits a bartender in Danvers MA (which I had never seen before). 74.96.13.206 (talk) 01:48, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
