Delicious take on the 20th Century drink. Perfect amount of cherry, doesn't overpower. We used Hayman's Old Tom as our gin of choice, which adds a hint of sweet and not as juniper forward. Also found that pineapple juice as an alternative to lemon made for a tasty and different twist to the cocktail. Cheers!
Alot of expensive alcohols in this cocktail, leading to a very sweet drink, reminds me of something I'd have had at a frat party in college. The young ladies will love it, but not for us.
Really tasty twist on a Tom Collins ! We substituted with Hayman's Old Tom. Thought maybe a bit too much lemon on first drink. We did not have the Three Cents Mandarin and Bergamot Soda, so on second drink we went with 3/4 oz lemon juice + 1/4 oz fresh mandrin orange juice (always have a bag of those hanging out in our fridge), topped with Spindrift Blood Orange & Tangerine Sparkling Water. Yum !!
