Review:

Not just a Collins made with Irish whiskey but a Ronan Collins. There's some Irish logic as to why this cocktail is garnished with a pineapple wedge but that's what sets it apart.

History:

Eponymously named for Ronan Collins, the Senior Brand Ambassador for Irish Whiskey at Pernod Ricard UK, this Irish whiskey-based Collins follows both tradition and convention. E.g. a Pedro Collins is with rum, a Tom Collins with gin, and a Pierre Collins is with brandy.

Alcohol content:

  • 1.2 standard drinks
  • 11.95% alc./vol. (23.9° proof)
  • 16.1 grams of pure alcohol
