Gin Rickey

2 oz. Beefeater
1 oz. Lime juice
1/2 oz. Simple syrup
Club soda
1 Lime wedge

Prep garnish - lime wedge.  Short shake all ingredients (except Club soda) with 3 ice cubes, then strain into a highball glass filled with ice cubes.  Top with Club soda.  Give a quick stir with a barspoon.  Add lime wedge.

A refreshing pull after working in the yard this past weekend.  I think giving the drink and quick stir after the Club soda helps make it a bit more consistent.  The first attempt I didn't stir so it felt like a slug of Club on top of lime,  sugar, and gin.  The second round tasted much better.
