Historically a Tom Collins was made with “Old Tom Gin.” This was sweeter than the more common London Dry Gin. The difference between the different gins often changes the profile of this classic cocktail born in 1874. This version of Collins Vodka has a more neutral profile and without much variation, because vodka is usually more neutral in botanicals, lemon juice and sugar help balance this recipe.&nbsp;Bartender Tip:Choose your favorite vodka and the best quality you get, this will be the best tip to achieve the best recipe.&nbsp;You can also try making your own syrup and give it any personal touch that you prefer.
