Need:
Blend or shake the gin, TC mix (or lemon juice + sugar) with cracked or cubed ice. Top with club soda (not tonic water). IMO Beefeater gin makes the best TCs. Sweet & sour mix doesn't seem to work as well as the TC mix if you can find it.
Optional garnishes: 1 maraschino cherry and orange slice.
There are MANY variations on a good Tom Collins, adjust these ratios to your taste.
Sip. Then make another.
