What is Tom Collins?
Tom Collins is a mixed alcoholic beverage or cocktail. Like many older cocktails, he has many different stories about how he was invented and who invented it. Two main stories on origin placed the date of creation of the drink somewhere between the 70s and 18 years of the 20th century. The name of the man was called Tom Collins and wanted a cocktail to thirst, but not particularly heavy in alcohol. Another story says Tom Collins was an Irish immigrant who dyed in New Jersey. Like the other "Tom", he wanted a drink to extinguish thirst. Either way, the name Tom Collins is quite common and the drink could be "invented" at the same time by several people. It was more sweet than dry. This would add a relatively sweet taste of a cocktail.
beverage is mixed together, poured with sodium water and served in a tall glass, usually with a few cubesAmi ice. Ornaments may include orange slices, cherries or pineapple. The arrival of Collins often means that people abbreviate lime and lemons, and instead simply combine the Gin and Collins blender together. However, those who enjoy the drink tend to prefer a naturally derived and original form.
The original beverage comes with an extraordinary number of Tom Collins. Most of them only move basic alcohol, so you get things like vodka Collins and Gin Collins. Other drinks have more color full names. For example, Jose Collins is made of tequila and Pedro Collins with rum. Michael Collins uses Irish whiskey and is a drink in honor of the Irish Revolutionary and Director of Intelligence for the Irish Republican Army, which was killed in 1922 during the Irish Civil War. There are also Joan Collins and Phil Collins that refer to the actress and rock star.
