Which spirit is traditionally used to make a Tom Collins cocktail?
What spirit is traditionally used to make a Tom Collins cocktail? The short answer is gin, but let me elaborate a little. The common mix is 3 parts gin, 2 parts fresh lemon juice, a part sugar syrup, and 4 parts carbonated water. The liquid may be poured over ice, with a lemon slice and a maraschino cherry added as a garnish. A tall straight glass is usually use for serving. It is believed to have been invented by a bartender John Collins at Limmers, a London Hotel. It is likely that the brand of gin originally called for in the recipe, Old Tom gin, may have encouraged the name Tom in the drink name Tom Collins. A recipe appeared in the 1876 edition of the Jerry Thomas book Bart Tenders Guide. The last name Collins and a first other name has been used to indicate drinks with other key components, such as tequila in a Jose Collins and Scotch whiskey in a Sandy Collins.
