Perhaps the most aromatic and flavoursome of the Collins family.

Variations/similar cocktails

During recent years, however, numerous cousins have appeared on the scene - Pedro, Pierre, Sandy, Mike, Jack, the Colonel and several others whose first names have not yet been officially recorded in the baptismal registry."
