A John Collins Kinda Day

No, we are not talking about the famous American basketball player. We are talking about a famous cocktail that has been around since 1869 (but people seem to think it may have been around for longer).

Now, people say, it was originally called Tom Collins, where the drink was made using gin, lemon juice, sugar and carbonated water. But, by popularity, the Collins cocktail now has many variations. Some people call it John Collins, where they use bourbon / whiskey instead of gin, or Vodka Collins where they use vodka instead of gin.

We are going towards the whiskey in this post. So, let's help you whip up a darn good John Collins.
