A TOM COLLINS.

A drink that isn't now, called for
a great deal in this city is Tom
Collins. Not long since a man at
one OF our hotels sent the boy down
for Tom Collins. The boy didn't
get the name right and told the
bar-keeper there was man upstairs
that wanted "tom-tom." That
stuck the bartender, but finally he
sent up Tom gin cocktail, which
didn't suit at all. A Tom Collins is
a hard drink to fix. You take a
lemon and peel it, taking care to
have the peel come off in one con-
tinuous strip. Then you arrange
that strip of peel in spiral around
the inside Of large glass. Then
you put in fairly large piece OF ice,
some sugar and some Tom gin.
Then you take bottle of club soda
and pour over all, and the Tom Col
Inns is complete. A John Collins is
made the same way, save that Hol-
land gin is used.
