El John Collins es un clásico cóctel Collins americano que sustituye el bourbon por la ginebra de un Tom Collins, combinándolo con jugo de limón, azúcar extrafino y soda club en un vaso Collins alto. También conocido como Bourbon Collins, preserva el carácter refrescante y efervescente de la familia Collins mientras añade la profundidad de caramelo y vainilla del whisky americano. Se adorna con una cereza marrasquino y naranja.
History & Origins
The Collins cocktail family originated in 19th-century Britain, named for a waiter at Limmer's Hotel in London, before evolving into numerous regional variations across the United States. The John Collins — using bourbon rather than gin or Old Tom gin — became particularly popular in the American South and Midwest, where bourbon was the spirit of choice. It appears in IBA documentation as a recognized style.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Lemon citrus, bourbon's caramel-vanilla, and the light herbal note of the soda. Palate: Refreshing and effervescent — bourbon's richness is brightened by lemon's tartness, sweetened by the sugar, and lifted by the soda's carbonation. Finish: Clean and citrusy, with a warm bourbon tail and a faint maraschino sweetness.
Pro Tip
Use superfine sugar for instant dissolution, and add the soda over the back of a spoon to preserve carbonation; garnish with both orange and cherry.
