John Tom Collins Cocktail
The Johnnie Tom Collins cocktail improves upon a timeless classic, making the base spirit the star of each sip. The use of Johnnie Walker Black Label brings its distinctive smooth, spicy finish and rich depth, resulting in a premium drink that honours the Whisky Collins’ simplicity. Ensure that the soda is ice-cold, as it has a big impact on the beverage’s crispness. Best served in a taller, narrower Collins glass, which helps keep it cold and effervescent, the result is fresh and elegant sips each time.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Crushed ice should not be used because it melts too quickly, diluting and flattening the drink’s effervescence.
Preparation Tip 2
If you find the smoky flavour of the whisky too assertive, you can lower the spirit amount and increase the quantity of soda water.
