Hey, I'm Jocelyn and this is Sandra and today we are going to make a drink because it is Friday and we should have drinks on Friday. Yes
0:08
Yes. Cocktail Friday. Cocktail Friday. So today you're going to make a Tom Collins, yes
0:14
Yes, this is a great classic cocktail. It is a classic cocktail and it's not something a lot of people drink anymore
0:21
No, I don't know why. Because it's so delicious. tasty it's refreshing it's another one that I think is not bad for brunch kind
0:31
of thing and in lieu of the traditional margarita who drinks margaritas at
0:37
brunch I miss most of you and so this is two ounces of gin right this is
0:47
essentially kind of a gin sparkly gin lemonade yeah we're gonna do one ounce
0:52
of freshly squeezed lemon juice. It really is. It's a gin. I never thought of it that way, but it is a gin lemonade with club soda on top, right? Yeah. And then half of simple
1:09
So we have made a video on how to make homemade lemonade and it's basically that it is two parts lemon, one part sugar, and then you've got your water when you're making it for lemonade
1:26
But when you're just making a glass, you don't need the water, right? You don't
1:30
No, because you have the gin. So I'm going to take a bar spoon, or in this case an ice teaspoon
1:35
I always use my ice teaspoon. Just give it a little bit of a stir
1:40
We're going to top it all. Looks pretty I going to get it a little extra Extra Sorry
1:58
That's all right. You do that. And then just a skosh on top for a little zing, right
2:04
A little fizz. Right. Like it. And if you wanted to put less ice and more fizz, you can do that
2:11
I don't always love a lot of club soda in my drinks just because I feel like it waters
2:16
them down a little bit but it's your drink if you want more and if you need
2:19
to water it down please do that's right and then this is fun part of this drink
2:25
take your cherry I'm taking two because they're kind of my faves I love them
2:32
you're gonna put it on top you see it starting to bleed down through yeah that
2:36
juice is really pretty I don't know if they can see that but it's a lovely I
2:40
put it where it's not very hot so you can see that might help it is really
2:46
pretty just slightly bleeding down. So lovely. Just a little lime or a little lemon on the side
2:53
On the side. She could drop it in. I just want to eat the cherries. It's your drink. Do what you want
2:59
Heck yeah. I want my cherries. I want these cherries. Okay. Mmm. It's a really good one. Here's the thing. You could make this using like sweet and sour mix or
3:14
you know something else but when you hand build and hand craft a cocktail
3:19
you just taste it up so much more and um it's a really easy thing to do having simple syrup and
3:25
some lemon juice on hand we keep it in the fridge all the time and you know what i would say you are
3:31
worth it do this for yourself i think that that's right so awesome i hope you guys enjoy
3:36
tom collins this weekend and we will see you next friday for another cocktail cheers bye
