Tom Collins

This is the beginning of a journey through time discovering cocktails. I will be exploring recipes, the creators, and the legendary hangouts.

I will invoke a little Tony Abou-Ganim, Dale Degroff, Chris McMillain, Dave Wondrich, Ted Haigh, Robert Hess, Gary Regan, Jared Brown, Lowell Edmunds, Paul Clarke, Audrey Saunders, Phil Greene, Anistatia Miller, and Darcy O'Neil etc.

Tonight I begin the journey with a Tom Collins, and then follow it with a Raspberry Collins.

Here we go, recipe used:

In mixing glass combine:
1 oz Gin
1 oz Simple Syrup
.75 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice

Add ice to Boston shaker
Combine shaker and mixing glass and shake 10-12 times
Strain into a fresh glass with fresh ice setup
Fill with Club Soda
Garnish with a Flag (Orange slice & Maraschino cherry)

This is such a delicious cocktail - this is such a great summer cocktail.
