Tom Collins

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 5 min. YIELD: 1 serving.
This Tom Collins cocktail has been popular for a long time, but the origin of the name is still up for debate. Some think it was named after a sweet gin called Old Tom, and others believe the drink was named after the bartender who invented it. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
