Tom Collins

This is the classic 'Wedding Drink', which is actually where I came across this beautifully strong drink. Nothing helps a best-man get out on the dance floor like 13 Tom Collins!
To make a Tom Collins you'll need:

2 oz gin
1 oz lemon juice
1 tsp superfine sugar
3 oz club soda
1 maraschino cherry
1 slice orange

In a shaker combine the Gin, Lemon Juice and sugar with ice and shake well. Strain into a glass half full of ice. Pour in the club soda, stir and garnish with the cherry and orange slice.

This drink has a really smooth almost sweet initial taste followed by the crisp bite of Gin. This is definitely a sipping drink and should be enjoyed slowly.

Seeing as how the Wedding season is fastly upon us I strongly implore you all to try this drink at your next reception, I promise it will get you out on the dance floor and enjoy the night!
