How to make a Tom Collins

No reviews yet

The Tom Collins uses an Old Tom Gin which is slightly sweeter than a London Dry Gin.

Some people prefer to shake a Tom Collins (without the soda/seltzer) to combine the ingredients before topping with soda and straining over fresh ice.

Chef's Notes

The IBA (International Bartender Association) calls for a dash of bitters but I have always made my collins without.
