Classic Tom Collins

The classic Tom Collins cocktail has always been one of my favorites- ever since I was at the young and legal age of 21.  Sometimes I’d even order a vodka collins.  The basic recipe consists of lemon juice, sugar, gin, and carbonated water.  Here is my take on this fine combination:

  • 4 oz gin
  • 2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1.5 oz simple syrup
  • Mix in a tall collins glass with ice
  • Top with club soda
  • Garnish with a cherry and lemon slice

This takes me back to the good times in my twenties.  =)

Sip responsibly!
