Friday's Drink: Tom Collins in a Flash

The Tom Collins is one of the most miss-ordered drinks in the world, so the SuperTenders are here to set the record straight and show you how to make the classic GIN based drink. Here's the fact: there's no vodka in a Tom Collins. If you want vodka, order a Vodka Collins --also known as an Ivan Collins. A Tom Collins is made with gin, and a classic Tom Collins is made with "Old Tom Gin," not London Dry Gin. Here's the Classic Tom Collins Recipe. In an Iced shaker cup combine: 1.5 oz Old Tom Gin (there are several brands available) Juice from 1/2 lemon 1/2 tablespoon of Bar Sugar Shake them together and strain into an iced Collins glass. Fill glass the rest of the way with soda water. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and lemon wedge. Be sure to Follow The SuperTenders on Facebook and Twitter and to subscribe here on YouTube!

Even though he's not a blonde and doesn't have a real beard, he still makes a fantastic Green Arrow on the CW's Arrow.
