From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
The Tom Collins is a cocktail and a variation on a Gin Sour. It is made of:
- gin
- lemon juice
- sugar
- splash of soda
Shake gin with lemon, sugar and ice. Pour into a Collins glass and top with soda. Garnish with an orange slice, lemon slice, or cocktail cherry. Garnishes vary by region.
Nowadays, commercial "sweet and sour" is often used as a replacement for the sugar and lemon juice.
Various versions replace the gin and rename the drink:
- Brandy Collins (Brandy)
- Jack Collins (Applejack)
- John Collins (Bourbon)
- Mike Collins (Irish whiskey)
- Pedro Collins (Rum), also Rum Collins
- Sandy (or Jock) Collins (Scotch)
- Comrade Collins (Vodka)
