... and you can replace Gin with whatever you want : Rum, Vodka... it's no longer a "Tom Collins" but it's good...

[OnzeConnection]

OMG she shaked soda !

[phoenixezalb]

Anyone else notice that she shook the soda? Soda is carbonated... It would explode.

[changgooey]

lol bruising is a myth ,and juninpero gin can be used it dosen't bruise as it has higher aclo % and is awesome for shaken martinis comes out cloudy and within 2sec clears completly but yeah you shouldn't shke it and you can use sugar syrpe instead lol

Somebody obviously never told this girl that you NEVER shake gin, as it 'bruises'.

And as the others have said, the Tom Collins goes into a Collins/Highball glass.

[applesaucebi]

wow this girl is dumb.... any bartender knows that you don't shake carbonated drinks... and a tom collins is made in a highball glass.....

[allaboutwords]

a tom collins is to be made in a Collins glass (tall glass) Squeeze half whole lemon (fresh) and simple (superfine) suger, over ice of course. Gin goes last, 1.25 Oz to be exact. Stir (never shake gin) then restrain over fresh ice, add a splash of soda and a cherry for garnish. Im here all week.

@allaboutwords She does suck ass, but you're wrong about never shaking gin. It's only gin drinks that contain all spirits that need to be stirred like the martini and negroni. Drinks like the tom collins, singapore sling, bronx cocktail, and the aviation are all shaken because they contain fresh citrus ingrediants that need to be aerated

Thanks Derek. Great insight!

[derekarmstrong]

Never shake after adding the soda. You're not gonna believe this, but just like when you shake a soda bottle, it fizzes and foams over and gets everywhere.

Plus, a Tom COLLINS goes in a COLLINS glass (tall glass). Otherwise, the instructions are correct (you don't need to add sugar, the lime juice is definitely sweet enough).

[migi98]

agree

[RSixBoy]

well said my friend, well said

[gmzc100]

@derekarmstrong I'm so agree with you ! Girl, never shake after adding the soda. In fact, Tom Collins es una bebida que se hace de modo directo (: no en "shaker" ! & se utiliza vaso grande, obvio. Saludos.
