The Tom Collins may be the most misunderstood (and ordered) cocktail in the land, mostly because so many people think its made with Vodka, when in truth it is a Gin based drink. So The SuperTenders are here to set the record straight.

You'll need a shaker cup to properly mix all these ingredients together. Take note of the fact that we're using a Old Tom Gin, not a London Dry Gin. Old Tom is a sweeter type of Gin and is available under brands like Anchor and Tanqueray

1.5 oz Old Tom Gin

Juice from 1/2 of a Lemon

1/2 Tablespoon of Bar Sugar (the Collins Brand works great)

Soda Water

An Iced Collins Glass

Lemon wedge and Maraschino Cherry for Garnish

Mix It Up

Now combine together the Gin, Lemon Juice and sugar into your shaker cup. Cover the cup and shake the ingredients together vigorously for a few seconds.

Next, strain the mix into an iced Collins Glass and then fill the glass the rest of the way with soda water.

Add a lemon wedge and Maraschino Cherry for Garnish and you're done!

Now Enjoy
