Tom Collins

Most folks agree that the original Tom Collins was made with Old Tom Gin, which is no longer available. This is one of those truly enjoyable drinks that seems to have slipped from the minds of modern drinkers. I tried this for the first time while I was in Bartender School, and it immediately became one of our household favorites.

2 oz. Gin
3 oz. Soda
3 oz. Sour Mix
Maraschino Cherry, for Garnish
Orange Wheel, for Garnish

Instructions
