Tom Collins

Ingredients:

1 1/2 oz. Gin

Juice of 1 lemon

Club soda

Shake first two ingredients and pour over ice. Top with Club soda.

It’s the classic case of which came first: the Tom or the Collins? This drink was invented by John Collins, a waiter at Lipmmer’s Old House on Coduit Street in Hanover Square, England. The name Tom was used instead of John because the drink was made with Old Tom Gin. Today, a derivation of the Tom Collins — the John Collins — is made with whiskey.
