The splash of the fizzy soda water is the perfect complement to this grown-up lemonade. Perfect for an afternoon refresher after a round of golf or even a poolside happy hour. The opportunities are limitless.
A Few Key Ingredients:
- Gin: We prefer a London Dry Gin for this one.

- Club Soda: Don’t skip out on this one...trust us.
Whether you are hosting guests or simply looking for a new cocktail hour recipe, this Tom Collins concoction is full of flavorful ingredients that are easy to find and simple to prepare.
Although the traditional Tom Collins calls for a maraschino cherry, we like to put our own spin on the recipe and add a slice of grapefruit instead. It still adds a colorful touch but pairs well with the citrus-based beverage.
Serve it in Style

Serve Alongside an Upscale Napkin
A linen napkin makes the cocktail feel a bit more special, plus the linen just feels better to the touch than paper.
The Tom Collins
Serves 1
Ingredients:
Drink
2 ounces London Dry gin
1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
½ ounce simple syrup
Splash of club soda, to top
Garnish
1 lemon wedge
1 maraschino cherry
ice
Instructions:
Fill a glass with ice and add the gin, lemon juice and simple syrup. Top with a splash of club soda and stir.
Make it a Mocktail
Omit the gin and increase the freshly squeezed lemon to 3 ounces. The soda will add fizz and the garnish adds a touch of color making this "lemonade" feel more like an adult beverage, less the alcohol.
Cheers!
