You can make it with either London Dry Gin or vodka, whichever is your preference. We love a good London Dry in this recipe, but this summer cocktail will work well with either option.
Collins Cocktail
A Collins cocktail is among modern classic cocktails. A Classic Tom Collins has a base recipe of gin, simple syrup, lemon juice and club soda. This simple recipe makes it easy to add different flavors and ingredients to make seasonal cocktails with fresh ingredients.
Simply made in a tall highball or collins glass with ice cubes, just shake the ingredients in a cocktail shaker (minus the club soda) and strain into the glass. Top with the soda water and add a straw!
Cucumber Collins
This Cucumber Collins is simple as it just requires some muddling of cucumbers! Add some cucumber slices into a cocktail shaker with simple syrup and muddle. Top with gin and lemon juice with ice, and shake. Double strain into the highball glass and top with club soda.
We love cucumber cocktails, and this is an easy one to make for sure! Try cucumbers in our Blueberry Cucumber Gimlet or Blueberry Cucumber Mule! Top with slices of cucumber as a garnish and you have a great drink.
Cheers!
