This Tom Collins recipe is the best! Tom Collins cocktails are made with gin, lemon, club soda and simple syrup. They're delightfully fizzy, delicious and refreshing. Recipe yields 1 cocktail, so multiply as needed (you can mix several at once in a cocktail shaker).

Tom Collins Cocktail

gin*

lemon juice

Club soda or sparkling water (I like Topo Chico)

lemon round or 1/2 orange round, for garnish

Luxardo cherry or other cocktail cherry, for garnish

sugar (traditional)

¼ cup water

To make the simple syrup: Combine the sugar (or honey) and water in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, whisking occasionally, just until the sweetener has fully dissolved into the water. Remove the pot from the heat and set it aside to cool.

To make a cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the gin, lemon juice and simple syrup. Shake for 20 to 30 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is really cold.

Fill a Collins (tall) glass with ice. Strain the contents of the shaker into the glass. Fill the rest of the glass with club soda, and give it a gentle stir with a spoon.

Garnish with a lemon round or 1/2 of an orange round, plus a cocktail cherry. Enjoy.

Thanks! The cucumber variation is delicious. I've recently been making a Tom Collins variation without realizing it. I made it with homemade ginger syrup instead of simple syrup. Delicious.

The timing of this was perfect for a perfect Vermont cocktail hour! We have Caledonia Spirits here, they add a kiss of honey to their gin, the perfect match to this Tom Collins. Thanks &amp; Cheers!

We have always used powdered sugar, gives it a crispy taste

Delicious! Really light and refreshing. I love your bees knees cocktail recipe and this one is just as good.

The cucumber mint gimlet was divine. Running out now to get more limes! Beautiful smell and taste, thank you!

To get the most from your limes make sure they’re at room temperature, then roll firmly on your work bench pressing with your palm to release as much juice as you can before halving and juicing.

Is watermelon your favorite summer fruit?

Used Moscato and Bacardi Lime and was a total win!

This recipe was not clear as to how much watermelon to use. I found this out the hard way. I used all the watermelon and mixed with the listed ingredients. It came out much too weak. Had to add quite a bit more alcohol. I checked out several other recipes after the fact and all were more direct with the amount of watermelon to use.
