A summer classic that features citrusy elements alongside the subtle complexity of gin, the Tom Collins has a crisp, effervescent finish and herbal undertones. Without being overly sweet, the drink offers a clean and light profile, ideal for summer events when paired with easy to make appetisers.
Since the beverage uses minimal herb elements, pairing the rosemary-flavoured pastry with it can elevate the profiles of the drink making it more layered when stirred.
With their crunch and herbal depth, grissini – also known as crispy Italian breadsticks, pair well with the Tom Collins cocktail as small bites as well as an edible garnish.
The fizz of the drink amplifies the flavours of the sandwich – the soft bread’s texture offering a pleasant foundation for contrast between the drink’s components and umami flavours of the cheese.
The combination of veggies on the skewer alongside a spicy dipping sauce ensures that notes in the cocktail are well-balanced after it is stirred and served with garnishes to match.
The carbonation of the drink balances the pork filling’s richness as well as the spiced, allium overtones of the wonton which stand in contrast to the earthy character of the drink. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
