We found that adding a small amount of Pernod to this fruity lime rickey recipe added an interesting but unimposing accent. If you don't care for the flavor of Pernod, simply substitute an equal amount of additional vodka. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
