An adult lemonade – with gin as the kicker – this great drink is just the ticket for a hot summer’s day. The Brits claim that John Collins invented it, while the Yanks say Jerry Thomas is the originator. Honestly, it’s such a simple drink (gin + lemonade) that it was probably invented many times over before either of them laid claim to this delightful cocktail almost a century-and-a half ago. Make it for yourself and lay your own claim to this tasty and refreshing drink. Cheers!
