This is how to make the perfect Tom Collins cocktail

Can’t stand soda can you use bitter lemon, 7 up or lemonade???

I didn't know it had simple syrup - I always just thought it was a Gin & Tonic with carbonated water instead of tonic water. No wonder I never really cared for these. I think the simple syrup probably makes a big difference.

What the F woman! Just tell me how to make the drink!

is soda water the same as club soda?

If you ever have the option. Use calamansi. Either fresh. Or quick and dirty with premade juice.

She licks the 😢bar spoon

I tried making a Tom Collins using my favorite gin, Tanqueray, and I thought it was just OK. Then I bought a bottle of Old Tom (Hayman's) and tried it the way they made it back in the day. What a difference. I put it in my rotation.

Bastard version...Sprite and gin.

Good tipsy drink great cocktail making

I'll always think of Homer throwing a bunch of cloves and tom collins mix together when i hear of this cocktail

That was my very first cocktail drink😋

I've used your techniques and teachings to improve my bartending at my lounge and so far I've collected a pretty good amount of frequent flyers. So much so that I'm no longer considered a new bartender, by their standards, and surpassed the other bartenders who've worked there for a bit.

Seriously? Thank you so much for these videos, you're god sent. I love your touch up on their history, your explanation of the tastes and overall chemistry break down for these drinks. You've helped me improve my craft and I get better every single day with new drinks and practice.

Thank you so much! 🥰

Absolutely gorgeous: check. Foreign mesmerizing accent: check. Knows her way around a bar: check. Had to watch this more than once tbh. The beautiful angle made something in a glass that involved ice cubes, a lawnmower & some rubber bands. sigh gotta watch this again!

So, it's a bit like a gin & tonic. I like the simplicity and freshness of it.

BRILLIANT! I tell SO many people that they should put the sofa first so that the carbonation rises through the drink giving it a natural mix

Great video! Thank you!!!

I am in Love with the host 🥰... Great Video ✌️

Oh get to it

Ty for the recipe. The Tom Collins is the lemonade of cocktails. Easy, sweet, refreshing & perfect for summer.

way back when it was called "Gin and Collins" = Gin + Canada Dry Collins Mix.
but today Canada Dry doesn't even make "Collins Mix" anymore, instead, they changed it and renamed it to Canada Dry Collins Mixer -personally, a poorer taste choice.

Thank you!

Great video, I picked up some useful tips and made my best Tom Collins yet! Thanks

I've been shaking my Collins lately, can you tell me the benefits of building/stirring the cocktail..I'm curious to learn..🍋🍒🍹

Just made one perfect end to a long day

Oh man, this brings me back to so many hangovers... As I was aged 18-20 and just learning to drink, this was my favorite. About 30 years ago.

Your explanations is awesome 👌

This is an absolute no baloney comment. I had a roommate who’s name was honest to god Thomas Collins.

So it's a Gin and Soda, rather than tonic, and a cherry to garnish.

By the way, a vegetable peeler is most adequate for extracting citrus peels without the extra effort to subtract the white bitter part.

How about a proper "Caipirinha"? Mind you, it is rather complex to assemble, with many secrets and details. But a good caipirinha can almost rival a proper Pisco Sour, the world's greatest drink. Which, by the way, I noticed is quite absent here. Hm... Anything against South America? of course not; it is just too far away from magic Scotland, but those two drinks alone deserve attention.

Nice video: well shot, clear and straight to the point! Wish I could be drinking a Tom Collins right now haha. Lovely accent also!

It is 7AM as I watch and I now want a drink, a Tom Collins. Thank your

Arggghhh…..dam metric measurements

Well you are a pretty cherry garnish yourself now aren’t you? Thank you. Lovely vid 👊🏽

Can't beat this classic! Cheers Cara

Cara, I love this drink. Please try my variation that I call Saint Tom where I replace the sugar syrup with 30ml of St. Germain.

So good👍🏼👍🏼

Her voice is like the TOm Collins, so refreshing. I will try this style tonight, I always pour the soda water last. Thank you! Subbed.

Nice video - waiting for summer and I will also mix it! Thanks :-)

Hi dear , i am in just awe of your videos! one question - Can we use honey instead of simple syrup ?

Haymans is an excellent choice! Have you tried their newer products? The barrel-rested gin is stunning

What is Exactly in your opinion the difference between gin fizz And Tom Collins?

I always enjoy your videos. Thank you. Cheers!

I'm new here, I love her voice

Are you Australian or Scottish?

She is very easy on the eyes... And I love her Tom Collins!

You can cheat with gin, lemonade and a splash or two of soda water.

lol... she said pop your cherry ...

Thanks for the video! I miss a bit of info on the soda water though. Is it just water with bubbles or is there Any flavour in? Thanks
