Description

The Tom Collins is a refreshing classic cocktail made with gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces gin or vodka (I like Hendrick’s)
  • 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
  • 12 ounces club soda
  • Lemon wheel and brandied/Luxardo cherry for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients (except soda) to a Collins glass filled with ice. Stir until mixed.
  2. Top with 1-2 ounces of club soda and stir again. Add more to taste if needed.
  3. Garnish with a lemon wheel and cherry.

Notes

You can make your own simple syrup with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup hot water. Stir until sugar is fully dissolved. This drink can also be made with vodka.
