History:
The Collins family of drinks dates back to the 19th century, and the Tom Collins — gin, lemon, sugar and soda served tall — was popular enough to appear in Jerry Thomas’s 1876 bartender’s guide. Its name got a boost from the “Tom Collins hoax” of 1874, a prank in which people were told a man named Tom Collins had been talking about them in a nearby bar. The Murlarkey Collins keeps the tall, refreshing spirit of the original, using lemonade for an easy sweet-tart base and a squeeze of orange to complement the bright botanicals of ImaGINation Gin.
