The origin of the Tom Collins is a little murky and even with a bit of research, I learned that there’s no clear answer where the drink came from. It’s widely believed to have originated in England by a man named JOHN Collins. However, there’s no actual evidence of that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the other popular stories behind this classic cocktail is that people would walk around New York City telling their friends that a man named Tom Collins was spreading rumors about them. Those people would then go looking for this Tom Collins in a bar where he was said to be in spreading those rumors. When asked where Tom Collins was, the person would instead by handed a gin drink similar to this Tom Collins Cocktail. This one is known as the Hoax of 1874 and as random as it is, I like it :)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
