Hi, I'm Denise Schaefer,
00:01
and I'm here with GQ.
00:03
I'm gonna teach you guys today
00:05
how to make the perfect Tom Collins,
00:06
which is my favorite summer drink.
00:09
So we're gonna start with the shaker,
00:10
make sure you have ice in it.
00:13
First we're gonna put lemon juice.
00:16
Make sure it's freshly squeezed.
00:18
Then we're gonna add one ounce of simple syrup,
00:22
and this you can make at home.
00:23
Boil equal amounts of water and sugar.
00:29
And then we're gonna do two ounces of gin.
00:33
And if you want, you could always add a little more,
00:35
depending on how strong you like your drinks.
00:45
Then we're gonna get a glass
00:46
and fill it up like halfway with ice.
00:50
We're gonna put our drink in here.
00:53
And we're gonna top it off
00:54
and fill it all the way with soda water.
01:00
Once we've put the soda water,
01:01
we're gonna stir it,
01:03
just a little bit to mix everything in.
01:06
We're gonna get a cherry.
01:08
So now we're gonna cut
01:09
a lemon wheel, to make it pretty.
01:13
Then we're gonna put our lemon wheel through here.
01:17
And there's the perfect Tom Collins.
01:23
Can't believe I made this.
