Rickey Thompson Drops Summer Time Fine Cocktail Recipe And Chaos Ensues

Rickey Thompson has caused quite the stir on the timeline with yet another post on Instagram, and… let’s just say that the people have OPINIONS. The Internet personality shared a video titled “THE SUMMER TIME FIN COCKTAIL,” in which he stirred up what seemed like a pretty dangerously fun drink; it was the kind of plus that made the comments on the post come out mixed nostalgia, worry, and full hype.

First, the drink. True Rickey fashion — no whole recipe but visual cues suggested this cocktail is NOT grandma’s personal. A few commenters called out the… questionable decision of mixing tequila AND whiskey. @cashee_ called it kind of diabolical and then quickly diped with but you know what … hell yeah, which is kind of the mood. And right away @ tashfelissa was like, “Girllla tequila & whiskey????? You know what imma try it,” which pretty much sums up that reckless summer energy we all seem to be hunting after.

But really, the more entertaining part was Rickey himself, fully parading and making the drink. It was an entire production that this man took us through with dramatic leans on the fridge and spontaneous dance breaks. “Throwing yourself on the fridge then the cut to you dancing had me HOWLING,” remarked @itsconorbehan, and we agree. @simonedaleyrichards straight up called him “An Icon” after the cat growl, and we would have to agree there too.

“This summer of ’16 is so real, best summer of my life,” @peterthestarr proclaimed, which sort of set the tone for a nostalgic thread. @shannmichell added in that the summer had the “most perfect weather,” which… pretty random, but legit. @holl2love threw up her hands asking for a time machine back to 2016 since apparently the world peaked during that summer? The math likely doesn’t check out, but the good vibes definitely do.

Others weren’t so fond of the ruckus, though. @dhudnall87 brought us all back to earth with, “I can’t have all that sugar. My diabetes lol,” killing the mood, but fair enough. @stettyco noticed Rickey chose to measure this time, commenting, “Lord knows your hands pour HEAVYYYYY on them shots,” which fair enough!

The real tea spilled, though, was by @jewelsey_ about Rickey’s struggle against typecasting: “What’s crazy is I listened to his podcast faithfully and he always got mad because he wanted to be an actor but was always pissed that he was type cast as the ‘funny’ or ‘loud’ guy. Buttttttt he does funny and loud so well lol.” Questioning self-awareness much?

By the time @maliah_meme said, “mix my mf liquors bc imma have me a TIME this summer DAMMIT,” we had all emotionally hefted into this cocktail we’d never tasted at all. @beautybypash is literally going to wait until after having a baby to try the drink, saying, “As soon as I drop this baby…” That’s serious commitment.

The post was hovering just above 100k likes and still going strong, further proving just what Rickey Thompson was born for when it comes to matters of summertime content. The taste test is still up in the air (that whiskey-tequila combo sounds… bold), but obviously, the entertainment factor is not.

Will you be making the Summer Time Fine cocktail now? With all these reactions, one would tread carefully-and maybe keep some water and aspirin close by, just in case. While summer 2024 may not be up to par with what 2016 had, it is certainly going to be one for the books, cocktails like that being a part of it.
