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...
The UK’s heatwave practically demands a Tom Collins. I mixed 50 ml Hayman’s Old Tom Gin with 25 ml fresh lemon juice, then topped it off with about 75 ml Schweppes Lemonade. Skipped the sugar syrup—didn’t need it. Its Bright, balanced, and incredibly refreshing.
