By 1878, the Tom Collins cocktail was being served in the bar rooms of New York City and elsewhere. Identified as "a favorite drink in demand everywhere" in the 1878 edition of The Modern Bartender's Guide by O. H. Byron, both Tom Collins gin and whiskey and Tom Collins brandy were considered fancy drinks.
Tom Collins cocktail ingredients:
- 2 jiggers Gin
- 1 jigger freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Drizzle of sugar syrup
- Chilled soda water to taste
Preparation:
- Mix the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a tall glass with ice.
- Top up with soda water.
- Garnish and serve.
