Mr Collins Lemon Infused Gin Cocktail In the 1860s, waiter John Collins was busy serving a sweetly sharp blend of gin and lemon, topped off with fizzing soda, to the libertines of London. Across the Atlantic, the great Tom Collins hoax of 1874 had New Yorkers chasing an imaginary man across the city for want of a cocktail. For our Mr Collins our Head Distiller has expertly blended our signature London Dry Gin with distilled lemons, ready to mix for a classic Collins cocktail. Lead by aromas of classic Juniper berries and sharp, sweet lemon the palate is a perfectly balanced blend of gin and lemon with a hint sweetness to round out the finish.
