Notes

  • What Kind of Gin is Best for this Drink?
  • There are different kinds of gin and I'm sure your favorite gin (whichever it is!) will work great, but a classic Tom Collins is made with Old Tom gin which is a little sweeter, but use what you like best!
  • If you want to make this drink for a party, here are my tips!
  • Depending on how many people are attending, you might want to fill glasses with ice and pop them in the freezer so they're nice and chilled beforehand.
  • You can leave the ingredients out for everyone to make and shake their own drink. Have an ice bucket, cocktail shakers, and lemon wedges all ready for them to grab.
