约翰·柯林斯是一款经典美式柯林斯鸡尾酒，以波本威士忌取代汤姆·柯林斯中的金酒，与柠檬汁、超细砂糖和苏打水搭配，盛于高挑的柯林斯杯中。又称波本柯林斯，这款饮品在保留柯林斯家族清爽起泡特质的同时，融入了美国威士忌的焦糖与香草深度。以黑樱桃和橙片装饰。

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.
