[MsAlexutzu]

omg... u know all coctail's? and u can make whatever u want?

it's nice :)... i take some moves.....

[jermyang]

zomg he didn't use funkin cane sugar syrup™

[GuppyOdyssey]

Perfect.

[Mikkelangeloo]

Very nice! I use beverateit (.) com instead tho.

[bcefra]

big shake!

[loveSc7]

yea very good drink! one of my favourites

[frobrofityfoe]

this is the craziest how to video i've ever seen.. so many camera angles

[TheCgmixer]

@ intavent: Yes, its called a rickey.

[Arexor]

I agree with the others saying that this drink should be stirred. Otherwise, looks and tastes good. Refreshing!

[intavent]

is there a sugar free version of this?

[thekrakenism]

@intavent nonesense.... sugar is a main ingredient in this drink... if you want to stay healthy.... drink water or fresh fruit juice.... otherwise the other igredient - alcohol - will cause you fatty liver and you'll still get fat so sugar doesnt really matter... life's short anyway so live it and stop the worry

[romandogbird]

your videos are the best, you sure have a flair (no pun) for cocktails!

[wotg]

Hmm Myles. A Tom Collins is a stired drink and it originally calls for old tom gin, not london dry.

Atleast the drink had quality ingredients.

[Pastagavioli]

since when the "collins" are shaken? the difference between collins and fizzies then? sorry i got lost...and doesn't TOM stand for Old tom gin???

[suuuuuperman]

same shit as gin fizz :S

[Ashran]

I hope I get a reply to this: I got a cocktail book with 1001 drinks in it, and in many of them it says "Soda" as an ingredient. Is soda actually soda as in Coca Cola etc, or just the water with like fizz?

[CodemanCometh]

@Ashran use Tonic Water.

[koryan]

@Ashran Soda water.

Coca Cola, Sprite, Dr Pepper etc are Soft Drinks or 'pop' drinks. Soda refers to soda water or tonic water.

[FinalJudgment13023]

USE A COLLINS GLASS!!!! Get rid of the seeds!

[hellohello66666]

@FinalJudgment13023 what d the seeds matter they are strained

[FashionablyBombed]

Wow! This looks delicious! The Fashionably Bombed Girls will definitely be making a Tom Collins in the near future!

[MrSelecta123]

You one of these from SodaSiphon com -> Pretty neat and saved me money on buying soda.

[04aEEPP]

he makes it look so easy!

[08sonoman]

please, just one question, can i replace  the sugar syrup and club soda for sprite or 7up?????

[PKhereford]

@08sonoman It wont taste the same, but if you are at a party or just making it for friends I don't think theyll complain too much.

Go for it. It depends how you want it to taste.

[renzolepunk]

very well but I do it this way

I use 60 ml of gin, 30 ml sugar syrup and 15 ml of lemon juice. complete with soda

GREETINGS FROM PERU

[Canestoid]

@renzolepunk nobody cares how a peruvian makes a collins

[gooser562]

Is it ok to use freshly squeezed lime juice instead?

[FrodeFlodhest]

Definitively the best one made on YouTube. Tried them al, but this one was the best!

Note that I'm not an experienced alcoholic. Just found this to be the best tasting one. =)

[bwong811]

whats with the serious face pappie!

[Paperstar]

As a budding bartender, I have a not-so-related question when you're serving these drinks.

When you're icing the glasses, you're using one hand to cover the glass, however I assume that neither the glass or the ice should ever touch your hand? Something picky perhaps, but do bartenders care about that, in the face of a busy environment and the eyes of a customer?

[Reak55]

Well it's better to have the ice in the glass than on the bardesk?

[chittyx2bangx2]

@Paperstar when i was taught i was told to do that. No your hand shouldn't touch the glass or ice. It's mainly to stop any sort of splashing or ice shards from flying about and pegging the customer.

[Paperstar]

@chittyx2bangx2

Thanks for the response Chitty! At the time I didn't know the answer to most questions, but it's been a short while since my post--been working in a bar since then, and I can definitely agree with preventing ice shards or ice in general hitting anything near the other side of the bar. :D

[chittyx2bangx2]

@Paperstar Glad to help out Paper. Keep mixing!

[fixdeluxe1]

I just brought two bottles of Bombay London Dry Gin.I don't know exactly what to do with them,but I have a huge interest in bartending,hospitality and culinary skills.

I am used to pre-mixes,and I can make a basic cosmopolitan and long is ice tea,but I am looking to expand my skils.

[chittyx2bangx2]

@fixdeluxe1 youtube is your friend in this case just search up some gin cocktails and you'll get a plethora of drink tutorials. Or better yet subscribe to shaketv. This guy is definitely one of the better cocktail guru's I've seen.

[fixdeluxe1]

Thanks Dude.

[xpo50]

@fixdeluxe1 This is actually a Gin Fizz, a Tom Collins is not shaken, but a fizz is before the soda is put in. It does change the drink since apart from the method they have the same ingredients.

[Slothen]

Personally I muddle the lemon with sugar and shake/serve it with crushed ice. Not sure if it's the right way, but it looks good!

[arshia88]

You are really good man ...better than amercian bartenderschool.....he talks so match

[flairbartender89]

very nice, this is by far the best made tom collins on youtube that i´ve seen yet....

[shakertv]

Yes, the classic Tom Collins recipe says to mix but over the years it has swayed toward shaking. Orange flag? Where might i find orange in the drink to justify this? Tom Collins isn't supposed to be sour, it can be sour if you choose it to be but it is supposed to be a refreshing drink, not neccessarily sour.

[GambiTheSlave]

Hi mate. I love your videos and I like your style, I feel like I can trust you as a bartender but still.. You put way too many ice cubes - it'll change the taste of this drink, I don't think that you should do this :) and all the lemons and so on - when you put it on/into your drink, you shouldn't do this with your bare hands if u know what I mean. Still respect and greetings ;) sorry for my English ;)

[toyotainside1]

I f u keep ur hygene at high standard.. i dont see why u cant handle items with ur bare hands.. thats why we have rules.. no rings no jewelery etc.... does ur chef handle everything with utensils? i dont think so.. bartending is far more than opening beer.. u need to put creativity and passion to it.. just like a rly good chef

[toyotainside1]

yes recorded recipe is garnished with a slice of orange and a cherry.... even listed in iba website.. but nice collins there ..every 1 does it his own way. but i like to keep as close as the original recipe... i dont want some1 changing things in a cocktail i created..

[Reak55]

Check that video /watch?v=jdanI5uRpyo And you will see that the classic garnish is not a lemonwedge.

[mat76zet]

these vids are so damn good I want to attend one of there classes in London..:)

[schaeferstriker]

hate it? NOOOOOO :<

[peffster518]

i am a huge tom collins fan, I tried one last week and it was terrific lol

[luisitosax]

Practical, easy to make and delicious.

How about use Ginger Ale instead of soda?

[CMPepsi001]

Works! Puts a nice flavour...

[robertpisarek]

A good video

[BigCutieBuffie]

Tom Collins WIN. This looks delicious.
