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.

Im not a fan either but if you're willing to try, the Anders Erickson version from his 04 April 25 video which includes celery bitters and a sherry rinse is very good

To help cut the sweetness I added a few drops of lemon juice (even 5ml) & a dash of Orange bitters (or Angostura Bitters)

For a slightly spicier variation, Fentimans Ginger Beer adds an extra bite & I used Monin Line Rantcho in place of Fresh Lime as it was on hand.. All in all a solid upgrade
