Notes: Refreshing, Summer drink that hits all the right notes. The original, Tom Collins recipe came from London, in 1874, though New York has claimed the fame, too; both used Gin, not Vodka. Though it's real origins are clouded, the cocktail has been a stable of American parties for decades. Next time you are at your favorite bar, ask the bartender to mix one up. See if he/she uses Gin or Vodka....
