Vodka Collins
The Vodka Collins, a vibrant and citrus-infused libation, presents a delightful twist on the classic Tom Collins. By substituting gin with vodka, this cocktail offers a smoother and slightly lighter profile, while maintaining the zesty and effervescent charm of its predecessor. With its foundation of vodka, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and a splash of soda water, the Vodka Collins emerges as a versatile and invigorating choice for those who appreciate a crisp and refreshing cocktail. Served tall over ice and garnished with a citrus wedge, it embodies the essence of summer and leisurely enjoyment.
