If You Like Lemonade, Then You’ll Love the Tom Collins Cocktail

If you’re searching for a light, refreshing cocktail, especially on a hot day, a Tom Collins is the perfect thirst quencher. Hailing from the family of sour cocktails, which are mixed drinks that contain a base liquor, sweetener, and lemon or lime juice, the Tom Collins is a gin sour that’s tart, sweet, a little herbal, and effervescent, thanks to the addition of club soda or seltzer water. It’s a grown-up sparkling lemonade that’s great when you’re in the mood for something that’s sweet-tart and not too spirit-forward.
