History of the John Collins Cocktail
The only thing that is known for certain about this cocktail is the time of its appearance, at the end of the nineteenth century, and the rest of the information is rather vague and contradictory.
It is believed that a bartender named Tom Collins came up with it along with his brother Lon. They worked at the London bar Limmer’s.
The brothers used different varieties of gin, but otherwise their recipe is the same as the modern one.
The confusion in the history of the cocktail is made by Tom Collins whiskey and the cocktail of the same name, prepared on its basis.
Despite similar names, cocktail recipes are fundamentally different, and this gives rise to confusion about the origin of both one and the other.
In 1937, the International Bartenders Association (IBA) suggested using the name Collins for a gin-based cocktail, but this idea was not popular.
It is known that in the early versions of the recipe there are different varieties of gin, and some of them contain angostura.
Cocktail variations John Collins
Manica John Collins – Manica gin is used.
John Collins with a sprite – Sprite is used instead of sugar syrup and soda.
