Tom Collins

Tom Collins is a classic, refreshing cocktail made with gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda. It’s typically served in a tall Collins glass over ice and garnished with a lemon wheel and a maraschino cherry.

This drink is known for its light, citrusy flavor and sparkling finish, making it a popular choice for warm-weather sipping. The balance of botanical gin and tart lemon, sweetened slightly by simple syrup and brightened with fizzy soda water, gives it a crisp and invigorating profile.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz gin
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • 3 oz Club soda

Put all ingredients into a Tom Collins glass. Add ice, garnish with lemon and serve.
