How to Make a Tom Collins | Cocktail Recipes
Recipes: 2 oz London Dry Gin; .75 fresh lemon juice; .75 fresh simple syrup. Build in Collins glass. Top with soda.
A Collins is a style of cocktail that is made in, as you might imagine, a Collin's glass. I'm going to show you how to make the king of all Collin's cocktails, Tom Collin's. The Tom Collins is basically a gin sour that is topped with soda water. So we're going to start with our gin. Two ounces, as you would a normal gin sour. You notice a lot of these classic cocktails have the same recipe's just different ingredients.
And we're just going to build this right in the glass, because we're going to top it with soda water. So we don't need to shake it or stir it to add any extra dilution from the ice. Just make sure that your soda is nice and cold, because we're not going to get any extra chilling from the ice when we shake it. Now three-quarter ounce of simple syrup as our sweetener, again just one part sugar to one part water.
And we need some lemon juice as our citrus to balance out that sweetener, we're just going to need three-quarters ounce of that, equal parts. And as always the fresher your juice is the better. I cannot condone store bought citrus. I just can't do it and I won't. All right, fresh lemon juice, three-quarters ounce of that. This drink is really great for hot weather, because of all that soda water it's really, really refreshing. And also, it makes it last a lot longer.
And of course, you can use three-quarters lemon. The Tom Collin's is the most classic of the Collin's, but it's a great template for variation. You could make this with bourbon. You could make this with tequila, all that stuff works. Now I'm going to top it off with ice. I really like to fill it all the way up and our nice cold seltzer. Whoop, we're good.
Like I said that'll serve as our dilution. So no shaking or stirring. I think the Tom Collins is a drink that deserves a good garnish. It's a long drink. You're going to be holding it for awhile, might as well make it pretty to look at, so okay I'm just going to cut a little wedge of orange. And if you have a toothpick or a little crystal pick like this you can make what they call a flag. And add a little cherry, with a cherry on top, naturally. And then jimmy that in there, and there you go, and that's how you make a classic Collins, the Tom Collins.

These videos need to be bumped! They were short and to the point and VERY delicious. I always add a splash of maraschino cherry syrup and a few. Gives it a little extra flavor profile. My go-to BBQ drink during the summer.
I like how he literally took a video in the grocery store so he could add that clip into this video. Classic!
Lol that was awesome
One of my favorite cocktails. I also like to top with 7-UP or Sprite in place of the club soda so adjust sugar accordingly.
I use mineral water for mine
Recipe is good (measurements)... 🍹..I also usually add 2 1/2 ounces of gin for extra kick!! Love building and stirring versus the shake method.
Can't get enough of this guy
Best drink out there I think
That curvy Collins glass looks cooler than the thin one. I have Kölsch beer glasses in my glassware collection, and they look just like the Collins glass. I literally can’t tell the difference...
Best looking video for being 7 years old… and im drinkin a Juan Collins at the moment with Tequila 😉
😂 a Juan Collins sounds good, kinda like a margarita!
So lemonade and gin. Got it.
I love Tom Collins!
I love it🤗💜🇧🇸
I always made a sour mix of fresh lemon, lime, and simple.
Just a thought.
Woosah yall.
I suggest you to use Old Tom Gin to make the Tom Collins instead the London dry, otherwise you'll get a John Collins...
Sometimes you hear Tom Collins just as a synonym for all the Gin versions and John Collins as a synonym for the Bourbon versions of this. But yes by IBA standards you would be correct.
Best drink ever
I would use about 3 times as much lemon juice, I love lemons.
Did you just add that garnish with the pointy end of the cocktail pick facing upwards? Crazy!
These are actually really mild tasting for anyone who wants a manly but tame drink. I normally hate gin in a martini but these are very easy to drink!
Good stuff, but I really must critize the not mixing of the drink. When you add the splash of sparkling water on top and you don't stir the drink you're gonna end up with a layer of sparkling water on top and the other ingredients on the bottom. A simple stir is all that's needed to make sure you're getting every ingredient in every sip.
Yes, but for presentation you don't stir it for a layer effect. For example, you serve a Tequila Sunrise without stirring it. You serve a Cassis Soda without stirring it. After the customers takes a look at it, maybe snap a picture, then they should stir it.
With the handy stiring spoon that every customer carries around!
JanusDarke1 like a straw?
Chakraen355 uhm no
I've read upon my research that it's club soda not seltzer
Love the color composition of these shots.
Look at me! Chopping ice for a Tom Collins like a field hand.
or do you want a mint julep?
i usually add a dash of biter and rose water for a extra kick
LOOOOL!!! That was funny...shaking his head No at the fake lemon juice at the store.
Store bought lemon in plastic bottle, so true, I salute you. But you have to put on Luxardo cherry, not an orange.
He did put a Luxardo Cherry on it...with the Orange Slice
🤔 I believe he did use a Luxardo Cherry..And it's ok to use an orange slice or lemon slice..
I don't even drink.
But it was in my recommended.
Lots of debate between shaking, and ordering of when to put in the citrus. Shaking the ingredient for tom collins supposedly allows aeration of the citrus, causing it to be smoother at the cost of dilution. Not shaking doesn't add extra water when the soda is already there, but at the cost of a potentiality of unmixed flavor between the citrus and the spirit, which I've experience more often than not. Stirring has similar results with shaking, being assured flavor mixing, but also dilution. So I have two questions for those who are bartenders or experienced in mixology: what to do with exceptional cases where citrus is present but not shaking/stirring is often performed, like the tom collins or gin and tonic? Also, I've heard from some bartenders that their learned rule is cheapest ingredient/citrus first then spirit rather than vice versa. What's the origin of that? Does this affect the taste to a noticeable degree?
A Tom Collins or Mojito can be built in a glass, however personally whenever I use fresh lemon or lime juice, I shake it. A trick I use for the soda is to pour 2 oz right into the shaker tin once you finished shaking the other ingredients, give it a swirl then pour it all in to the highball glass. You'll get a perfectly mixed Collins without losing any carbonation. As far as putting in the cheap ingredients first, that's just in case you make an error with measurements, it's cheaper to waste that than starting over when you've already put your spirit in first. Does not affect the flavour. Hope this helps!

I cannot condone store-bought citrus

Off-from-work Tom agrees
I made 2 Tom Collins' for my wife and I. when I made the first one for myself I found that half a lemon produced the right amount of juice in my jigger however, I used the other half of the lemon for garnish so I had to use a different lemon for my wife's drink. I used exactly the same measurements for both drinks with equal parts lemon juice and simple syrup, my drink was perfect but my wife's was really sour I'd assume that lemons can have different acidity levels which is why my wife's drink was too sharp. How do you get around this issue?
you give your wife your glass
+Edwin. I would've happily, however I thought that she just didn't like the drink to start with and mine was gone before I tried hers, and it was incredibly sour for some reason.
Darth Craiga well you make her another one lol
Interesting. I used a whole lime (which I think are more sour than lemons) to make my drink. It wasn't sour at all though.
I used a scale to measure my ingredients exactly because it was my first time making this cocktail. I measured my lime to 2oz exactly. Along with 2.2oz of dry gin and 1oz of fine white sugar (which I mixed with the lime juice before adding, I don't have any syrup).
I mixed with another 2.5oz of club soda and it was perfect first try. Tastes really nice!
It could just be lemons being different in sourness. But maybe give limes a try and see if that changes anything. I'm tempted to try lemons and see if there is any difference.
Could you please do a video on how to make a Piña Colada? :))
Cool!
Well, finally I know how to spend my bottle of Blantons Gold xD
If you don't like gin can you use vodka ?
Yes
"Have the same recipe just different ingredients" so like spaghetti and palella are the same thing right?
+112233jjooee he meant like same measurements. Like 2 ounces of x alcohol etc.
Any good gin suggestions?
Beefeater Gin
Most 'club' bars don't have simple syrup, nor do you have the time to squeeze fresh lemon. I normally use sweet and sour mix. Does anyone have any other suggestions for the lemon and simple syrup bit?
What type of club doesn't have simple syrup, nor lemon juice?
Every bar has simple syrup, and if it hasnt its not a very good bar.
Jamise Brown An there is always time for fresh lemons, customers at my bar have no problem with waiting for quality! ;-)
Sour mix? Ew unless you’re making drinks for more than 4 people at a time.
what knife are you using to cut the fruit? where can I get one?
Good one :)
how much soda water was that? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!
just top with soda water ...
Instead of .75 oz of simple syrup, and .75 oz lemon juice; can I just use 1.5 oz of a sweet and sour mix I've already made? The sour part was made from freshly squeezed lemons, and limes. Will the limes make a huge, or subtle difference (or any difference at all)?
Jerry Kretchmer Just saw this comment, yeah that should work fine. Limes have a slightly sharper citrus note, but it won't hurt the cocktail. As always, the fresher juice you use the better. Simple syrup will help preserve it some, but only for a couple days. Good luck! Cheers.
+Jerry Kretchmer Well the classic Collins is made with lemon juice and sugar not sour mix. Sour mix usually contains other juices/ingredients so the flavor profile will be different from the classic.
68 professional bartenders dislike this video :)
no shaking on lemon juice ?
Traditionally it was made in 'punch style' which doesn't include shaking!
at least you tried
when i am lazy i just put in highball glass 100ml of gin and top with fanta lemon and its allright
Thank s good night John boy
Fresh is best, of course. I will condone store-bought in the off season if anyone needs permission.
No pole on Tom Collins Cocktail?? :o
Does the fresh lemon juice really makes a difference??
YES!
yes it do
And to re-answer with reasons, you will notice that you only taste the sour aspect of citrus from a little plastic bottle full of it and only some of the underlying...gentleness?(okay sorry i never know how to describe things i taste but thats how it is for me) of the lemon juice.
the plastic one basically sat in it's own acidity and just tastes more severely sour as time goes by.
A fresh lemon is, like i said i am terrible at saying this, more gentle and adds just this little beautiful tightness to the drink as you enjoy it.
I suggest to any who question this one thing. Make yourself the same cocktail using lemon juice for a few days. You don't have to finish it but every day when you come home from work just make one and have a single drink of it. After doing this for say....5-7 days do one with a fresh lemon. I am quite sure you will not NOT finish that one when you notice the subtle but incredibly interesting differences.
Save that little plastic bottle for when your making ramen and want it to taste a bit citrusy.
ㅎㅎ 재밌는 동영상 보러 놀러와요~~
I won’t be holding it I’ll be drinking it
I used to love my Tom collins...but they always made pink...I'm not sure why...
Some bars like to use grenadine instead of sugar syrup!
Me like 😜
What is the syrup?
1 part sugar to one part water
He did not say, "same recipe with different ingredients"
yeah, can't figure that one out either.
you didnt use 2 oz - you used 1.5 gin, 1.5 sour
What’s his name?!
So Tom Collins is basically gin & tonic with extra lemon?
Except the recipe calls for Soda Water not Tonic Water.
A better way to look at it is a "Gin and Sparkling Water Lemonade"
www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/29/seltzer-vs-club-soda_n_1434891.html
Truth is...you could use Lemon Seltzer Water or Plain Seltzer and most people would not know the difference. But I would not use TONIC water in a Tom Collins
So , I need to use Club Soda for the Tom Collins right ?
yes, like he says the tom collins is essentially a gin sour filled with club soda. Similar recipe, 1 oz gin, 2 oz sweet and sour juice, fill club soda, cherry garnish. I also recommend a quick stir with a bar spoon, or just adding the gin last since it is the thickest and will slowly filter through the rest of the liquids
You have to shake the drink, cmon! Than strain into a Collins glass with ice and than top up with soda.
A prism pick with point up was the final product....No Sir! Huge mistake!
You know what they say ,first
He did not garnish a lemon Collins with an orange.....geeze.
Same shirt everytime?
Maybe Tom wants to keep it consistent.
Sir why is called Tom Collins
vasudev poojary it was originally made with a Gin by the name of Old Tom Gin and like in the video it was served in a Collins glass. Hence the name Tom Collins.
A bartender named John Collins first came up with this drink. He used Old Tom Gin, hence the name Tom Collins
Why do you not shakin
Long Joe he doesnt knwo ..u shake it with ice and after u put it in the glas su top it with soda water
+ftlptba It's fine this way honestly. Either is acceptable, the soda really makes it negligible. I would stir lightly to integrate everything though.
Coliflowerz im sayign the "classic " procedure most books and pros do it, u can have it however u want
Naw yeah I agree. Just saying this way is fine too.
u look like tom hardy lol
Why the hell would you garnish with an orange? It has nothing to do with the drink. Don't piss off your bartender wasting garnish tray!
Uggh, no kidding, Luxardo Cherry all the way.
That’s like the most inelegant garnish I’ve ever seen for a Tom Collins. The flag makes it look gaudy, something minimalist like a slice of lime, lemon or orange looks so much better.
Same recipe, different ingredients? Lol
Too slow my man
Who is this guy????? I understand there are many ways to skin a cat, but Jesus Christ! This guy's way is not the best way....it's actually probably one of the worst....
+Abel Hugo Manriquez So watchu got then
