🥂 🍋 Easy Vodka Drinks: Vodka Collins / Easy Vodka Cocktail Series 1
This recipe follows the formula common to the Collins family of drinks: spirit sour sweet soda. It is almost identical to Tom Collins (gin) and John Collins (whiskey) and simply uses vodka as the base spirit. If you want to stick with the proper names this recipe is also called Joe Collins although that name is rarely used.
While almost any vodka will do this drink is pretty transparent. It will only be as good as the liquor you pour into it—there’s no way to hide a less-than-stellar vodka choice. That said you don’t need to overthink this one. Any of the popular premium vodkas are good options. Choose wisely when it comes to budget-friendly vodkas; not all of them are worthy of clear drinks like Vodka Collins.
"Like Tom Collins the vodka collins is a symbol of simple unadulterated refreshment. Using vodka instead of gin streamlines this version like a sparkling lemonade with a kick. But that's a bad thing. Use fresh juice and measure your ingredients so the balance of sweet and sour is just right." —Tom Macy
