I definitely want to share this article about the Tom Collins cocktail written by Douglas M Ford (Cold Glass). This is definitely an in-depth look into my all-time favorite cocktail. Seriously, this is by far, my most favorite shaken/stirred beverage…my idea of “liquid gold”. The recipe calls for London Dry gin, to shake your ingredients & garnish with an orange slice. However, in my version of this delectable refreshment, I prefer No. 209 gin, to stir my ingredients & to add a wedge of lemon. (What can I say? I prefer a little tang in my drink.) Check it out & enjoy…

209 is a delightful gin; I’ve not used it in a Tom Colllins, but I expect its less junipery character would let the brightness of the lemons shine through. First-rate lemonade any day of the week. Thanks for the idea.
