Chef's Notes
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice, always. Bottled lemon juice is an insult to the royal palate and tastes like industrial cleaner.
Pro Tip
Chill your tall glass in the freezer for ten minutes before assembling the drink to keep the ice from melting too quickly.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
The most common way home cooks ruin this is by using flat club soda, turning a crisp, bubbly masterpiece into a sad, syrupy puddle of disappointment.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the Tom Collins break up with the Gin Fizz? Because it needed more personal space in a taller glass.
