Haven’t had a Tom Collins in years, and it was refreshing. Don’t think it’ll ever be my favorite, but it still was good.

Love TCs - hit the spot too darned often. Don't care. Add fresh OJ and keep the Angostura. Use a straw.

I've tried several versions of TC on here, but like this mix of gin, sweet and sour the best!
