    "default": "The Tom Collins is a drink that became very popular in late-19th century America, but it's actually based on an old English punch recipe. The history of the Tom Collins takes us back to some of the earliest gin punches, which featured on menus in some of Mayfair's legendary gentlemen's clubs, like Limmer's Hotel and the Garrick Club. Unlike a Gin Fizz, which shares the same ingredients, a Tom Collins is built straight into a glass and simply stirred before serving. It's served with plenty of cubed ice, whereas a proper Gin Fizz should be served straight up. The absence of ice in the Gin Fizz means there's nothing to get in the way of wolfing the whole thing back in one satisfying gulp. A Collins however demands you take a bit more time."
