Use freshly squeezed lemon juice
Tom Collins is known for its fresh and tart taste, so it is important to use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of ready-made. It gives the cocktail a lighter and more authentic taste.
Adjust the sweetness to your taste
The recipe for Tom Collins contains sugar syrup, but the sweetness can vary according to personal preference. Start with the indicated amount of sugar syrup and add more or less depending on how sweet or sour you want your cocktail.
Use a quality gin
Gin is the main ingredient in Tom Collins, so it's important to choose a good quality gin that suits your taste. Some prefer a drier gin, while others like a more spicy or floral gin. Choose a gin that suits your preferences and contributes to the overall flavor of the cocktail.
Remember plenty of ice cream
Tom Collins is best served in a tall glass filled with ice. The ice helps to cool and dilute the cocktail, creating a refreshing experience. Be sure to add plenty of ice to the glass before pouring the cocktail.
Garnish with a slice of lemon
A traditional Tom Collins is often served with a slice of lemon as a garnish. It not only adds a visual element, but also gives an extra citrus scent to the cocktail. Cut a thin slice of lemon and place it on the edge of the glass or floating in the cocktail.
