How to make a Tom Collins Cocktail

The Tom Collins cocktail is an American cocktail that is not to strong and not to weak. there are many different variations of the drink and there is even a glass named after the drink. (Collin's Glass) It is a glass tumbler that holds more then the normal highball glass, about 12-16 ounces.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 oz gin
• 1 oz lemon juice
• 1 tsp superfine sugar
• 3 oz club soda
• 1 oz grenadine

1. The drinks that are variations of the drink Tom Collins all have a different first name but all contain Collins as well, such as ~
   
   Brandy Collins
   Phil Collins
   Pedro Collins
   Vodka Collins
   Sandy Collins
   Ron Collins
   Michael Collins
   John Collins
   Jack Collins
   Jose Collins

2. They all have their own recipes and ingredients that are used in them. However the best one in my opinion is the Tom Collins. Mix the above ingredients together in a shaker half full of ice, except the club soda.
   Shake well.

3. Pour into a Collins glass filled with ice.
   Add the club soda.
   Garnish with a cherry and slice or orange.
   Enjoy!
