I love my sidecar (cognac, Cointreau, lemon juice) and I love my vodka sour (vodka, sugar syrup, lemon juice) and I love my relatively dry vodka martini (4:1), but they are what you might call sippin' drinks. Unless you plan to have several, you need to sip 'em, or they're gone.
Enter Tom Collins. Nice guy, Tom. Two ounces fine gin, 3/4 ounce sugar syrup, 1/2 ounce lemon juice, tall glass half full of ice, and about 5 ounces of club soda. Or, on a day like today, substitute vodka for gin for the classic Vodka Collins.
Drink, don't sip. Gulp down a couple good swigs at a time if you want. Yum.
