Tom Collins 2012 - The Recipe

By Tasting Table Staff

Because the Collins is actually a family of drinks rather than a single recipe, Freeman's third take is a template of sorts. Swapping different sweeteners (honey, maple syrup, agave nectar or orgeat), spirits (tequila) or citrus (grapefruit, orange or yuzu) is encouraged. Even the soda itself is up for grabs: Freeman suggests ginger beer or Champagne.
