When it comes to cocktail drinks, are you a classics type of person or are you more of a modern-type of gal who enjoys all of the fruity drinks? I admit, I enjoy the fruity drinks while my husband (The Big E) goes for the classics. When we host adult parties & family get togethers, we try to offer our guests a variety of drinks to enjoy.

Tom Collins is a perfect drink. It is so simple to make and refreshing to drink.
OMG I had forgotten all about the Tom Collins. It was my drink in the late 70’s the only thing I ordered. Some reason I got away from them but I think it is time to have a couple.
Nice, easy and refreshing so that is my kind of drink. I especially like vodka drinks in the summer with lime or lemon.
I enjoy a Tom Collins now and then, although I haven’t had one in ages, and have never made one. I remember my parents having them when I was a young. It is a true classic.
I didn’t know how easy it was to make these. Would be fun to serve to guests.
Vodka based cocktails are my favorite. Tom Collins is a perfect drink for those of us that enjoy Vodka drinks. This is a very refreshing drink.
I don’t think that I have ever had one of these drinks before it sounds good though. This would be perfect for a summer get together thank you for the recipe and have a nice weekend.
