French 75

Gin botanicals, citrus fruit sweetness and a touch of sourness, bubbled up with soda water – the Tom Collins is one of the simplest long drinks, such a classic that it’s had a glass named after it.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
Using a jigger, measure 50ml Tanqueray London Dry Gin, 25ml lemon juice, 10ml sugar syrup into the glass.
Stir the mixture with a bar spoon until the ingredients are well combined.
Top up the drink with a splash of soda water.
With a sharp knife and a chopping board, cut a wedge of lemon and place into the drink to garnish.
Get some grub in before or while you’re drinking – it slows alcohol absorption.
