Looking for a refreshing cocktail to sip on a sunny day? Try making a classic John Collins cocktail! This timeless drink features the smooth and sweet flavor of BARRISTER OLD TOM Gin, combined with tangy lemon juice and a touch of sweetness from sugar syrup. Topped off with bubbly soda water, it's the perfect thirst quencher.
To make a John Collins, you'll need the following ingredients:
BARRISTER OLD TOM Gin: 45 ml
Lemon juice: 30 ml
Sugar syrup: 15 ml
Soda water: 60 ml
In addition, you'll also need some ice, a cocktail shaker, and a Collins glass. If you don't have a Collins glass, any tall glass will do.
Here's how to make the John Collins cocktail:
Fill your Collins glass with ice. This will help keep your drink cool and refreshing.
Add your BARRISTER OLD TOM Gin, lemon juice, and sugar syrup to your cocktail shaker. Give it a good shake to combine all the ingredients.
Strain your cocktail into your Collins glass over the ice. This will help keep any unwanted ice chips or pulp out of your drink.
Top off your John Collins with soda water. This will add some effervescence to your drink, and help balance out the sweetness of the sugar syrup.
If you like, you can add a dash of Angostura bitters to your John Collins. This will add a subtle spicy note to your drink.
To finish, garnish your John Collins with a cherry and a twist of lemon peel. This will give your drink a pop of color and a bright citrus aroma.
And there you have it, a refreshing and classic John Collins cocktail! It's perfect for sipping on a hot day, or enjoying at a happy hour with friends. Cheers!
