John Collins

A refreshing balance of sour lemon and sugar, laced with London dry gin and lengthened with soda. Some know this cocktail as a Tom Collins, understandably...

Very nice, but even better imo is the Tom Collins version on this site.

I agree. I've used Hendricks dry gin for this one, which is not my favorite dry gin, but it pails when compared to the Tom Collins I've prepared half an hour ago using Hayman's.

This is a mistake. The Tom Collins recipe is here instead of the John Collins

No, all is correct! A Tom Collins is based on old tom gin, while a John Collins is based on London Dry Gin. I've added notes and links above.
