TOM COLLINS

Master the art of the classic Tom Collins cocktail, plus three twists. Gin, lemon, sugar syrup and soda water are the ingredients for your cocktail cupboard

Categories     Cocktails

Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 4

50ml gin
25ml lemon juice
25ml sugar syrup
125ml chilled soda water

Steps:

  • Build the drink over plenty of ice in a Collins glass, stir gently and garnish with a slice of lemon. 3 TWISTSRaspberry CollinsRaspberries give this twist on the classic Collins a pretty splash of colour. Start by gently muddling a handful of raspberries in the bottom of an empty Collins glass, then add the ice, all the other ingredients and mix well with a long handled spoon. Garnish with an orange slice. Brandy CollinsThis is a really refreshing way to enjoy cognac. For best results, use a young-ish VS or VSOP cognac that's nice and fruity. Just make the drink as normal, substituting cognac for gin, then garnish with a slice of ginger or a ribbon of lemon peel. Elderflower CollinsElderflower and lemon is a winning combination. You can make it with elderflower cordial or liqueur for something a touch more boozy. Mix the drink as normal, but use the liqueur or cordial in place of the sugar syrup. Garnish with a lemon slice.
