Jan Collins by Jeff Bell

Medium

A modern day twist on the all-American Tom Collins, the effervescent Jan Collins uses the crisp and sophisticated tasting Ketel One vodka in place of gin. The addition of the zesty orange and lemon citrus notes in the Ketel One produce a fresh tasting cocktail fizzing with flavour. Jan Collins was created by Jeff Bell for World Class 50, the definitive guide to fine drinking.

About this recipe

Ketel One vodka has an unmistakable streak of golden honey and zesty citrus notes running through it. The addition of an orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier gives a bold citrus flavour and spiced hints. This helps create a glass of crisp, fresh-tasting perfection. It’s simply ideal for those cloud-free, sun-filled summer days. The Jan (pronounced Yan) Collins was created by World Class finalist and USA’s Bartender of the Year, Jeff Bell in New York’s East Village in an underground hidden treasure called PDT (Please Don’t Tell). It’s here that he likes to experiment with the unorthodox and fascinating concept of terroir - a practice based on the insight that ingredients hailing from the same part of the world fuse well together, helping to produce a more enhanced and complete drinking experience. The World Class Bartender of the Year competition is an annual competition where the world’s most talented mixologists from all around the globe compete against each other to be crowned the world’s best bartender.
