Tom Collins
The original long drink. Gin, fresh lemon, sugar, and soda water over ice — tall, refreshing, and timeless since the 1870s.
01 Zutaten
02 Zubereitung
Combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a shaker with ice.
Shake briefly (5 seconds) — just to chill, not dilute.
Strain into a tall Collins glass filled with ice.
Top with cold soda water.
Garnish with a lemon slice and maraschino cherry.
The Tom Collins: A Drink with a Backstory
In 1874, New York saw a bizarre prank: people would tell friends that “Tom Collins” was talking trash about them at a nearby bar. The friend would run to confront Tom Collins, who didn’t exist. The joke became a cultural moment — and eventually a cocktail.
The Collins Glass
The tall glass is named after this drink. The long format keeps the soda water from going flat too quickly.
