TOM COLLINS, THE FRESH CLASSIC

THE CLASSIC TOM COLLINS

As with the Whiskey Sour, the Tom Collins when done with fresh ingredients, premium Gin and shaken correctly is really one of the most wonderful things on this wicked earth. Remember it is critical that you use nice fresh orange slices for these cocktails. These are not just garnishes!! The citrus scent from the rind really adds to the flavor profiles of this age old classic. Be careful with these, the Fresh RIPE sour mix hides the booze!!!!

Glass Suggestion = 9-10 oz Collins Glass

Equipment = Shaker, straind

Ingredients:

4 oz RIPE Sour Mix,

2 oz Premium Gin, 

1/2 oz San Pellegrino or soda water 

Fresh orange slice

- In a shaker half filled with ice mix the RIPE Agave Sour Mix and the gin.

- Shake the cocktail in a hardcore manner for 5 seconds or so. Strain into the glass filled with the ice. (It should be slightly hazy and frothy)
