Fill highball glass with carbonated water and ice cubes.
Leave lime in glass.
A rickey is defined by the combination of a spirit, lime juice, and soda water served over ice in a tall glass. It's simpler and less sweet than a collins or fizz.
Mix the apple brandy and lime juice ahead, but add soda water and ice just before serving to maintain carbonation and chill.
A dry, unaged apple brandy or calvados works well. Avoid overly sweet varieties to keep the drink balanced and refreshing.
Typically 2–4 oz of soda water depending on glass size and how carbonated you like it; adjust to taste.
