Tom Collins
The Tom Collins is a Collins cocktail made from gin, lemon juice, sugar, and carbonated water. This "gin and sparkling lemonade" drink is typically served in a Collins glass over ice with a cherry garnish. A non-alcoholic "Collins mix" mixer is produced, enjoyed by some as a soft drink. The earliest publication of any Collins, as well as any Fizz recipe, are both located in the same book, American bartender and author Harry Johnson's 1882 Harry Johnson's New and Improved Bartender’s Manual, or How to Mix Drinks of the Present Style, in English and German. The book includes a Tom Collins calling for Old Tom gin and a John Collins calling for Holland Gin, most likely what is now known as Genièvre.
