Yuzu Tom Collins
Description
The Yuzu Tom Collins features gin combined with fresh yuzu juice and simple syrup, shaken well with ice to chill and dilute the mixture slightly. The cocktail is strained into ice-filled glasses and topped with club soda or seltzer for effervescence. The yuzu juice adds a distinctive citrus note that is less sweet and more aromatic than lemon, enhancing the traditional Collins profile. The drink is moderately sweet, tart, and bubbly.
This cocktail works well served in a tall glass over ice, ideal for warm weather or casual social gatherings. It highlights the interplay between botanicals in gin and the bright, floral citrus of yuzu, offering a clean finish.
