Tips & Warnings
One variation on this drink is to rub the top edge of the Tom Collins glass with a crushed mint leaf. The mint oils at the lip of the glass add to the southern charm of this cool summery beverage.
Using cola adds a lot of fizz and sugar to the drink which is not in the original. Strongly consider using tea to make a non-alcoholic Mint Julep.
