Review:
A popular modern-day adaptation of the classic Collins with a whopping 45ml (1½oz) of lemon juice, yet is far from being overly sour. (I've tried reducing the lemon and rebalancing with less sugar but the result is a lesser cocktail.)
Variant:
Raspberry Debonnaire
History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 1999 by Cairbry Hill, London, England.
