About the Raspberry Mojito
The fizz and Collins family. Tall, sour and fizzy drinks became popular in the second half of the 1800s, once soda water was easy to get. Jerry Thomas printed the Tom Collins in 1876, the Gin Fizz was a craze in New Orleans and the Rickey was born in Washington, D.C. in the 1880s. They all add soda to a sour to make it long and refreshing.
