📜 History
The Scotch Collins is a member of the Collins family of long drinks, all of which descend from the Tom Collins -- a gin-based recipe that dates to nineteenth-century London bartender John Collins. Substituting Scotch whisky for gin yields a version sometimes called the Sandy Collins or Jock Collins in Scotland, names that nod to the drink's Scottish spirit. The formula is identical to the Tom Collins in structure: spirit, lemon juice, simple syrup, and soda water, served tall over ice.
