Introduction
The Tom Collins is a classic cocktail that dates back to the 19th century. Named after a popular hoax from 1874 known as the ‘Tom Collins Hoax’, this drink has a light, refreshing taste with a perfect balance of tart lemon juice, gin, and a touch of sweetness from simple syrup. It’s a quintessential summer drink that has stood the test of time for a reason.
