A medium-dry Gin Collins based on old tom gin. There is much confusion between Tom Collins and John Collins; arguably, the two names are interchangeable...
Looked at this a few times and dismissed it as being too simple.
But take it back. its the simplicity that makes this classic what it is.
I am on my third. It is that enjoyable
Very refreshing and easily modified - currently I am drinking one with a (very) small amount of homemade caraway/pink peppercorn infusion, which adds a touch of extra flavor without denaturing the original.
Absolutely without a doubt one of the best gin drinks a guy can make.
1.1/2oz Haymans Old Tom
1oz lemon juice
1/2oz simple syrup
3oz soda water
So perfectly refreshing
