Tom Collins

You’ll need:

25ml sugar syrup

25ml lemon juice

50ml gin (your favourite)

125ml chilled soda water

Cubed or crushed ice

Method:

1. 1. In a tall glass filled with ice, pour the gin, lemon juice and syrup.
2. 2. Stir thoroughly and top up with soda/sparkling water.
3. 3. Garnish with a slice of lemon, serve and enjoy!

Why not try these twists on a classic?

1. Raspberry Collins: For a fruity twist, muddle a handful of raspberries and half the amount of lemon juice.
2. Elderflower Collins: Light and refreshing, for a super-summery twist, make as normal but sub the sugar syrup for elderflower cordial.
