History

A minty John Collins – as the name suggests.

Victor Bergeron's 1972 Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide (Revised Edition) offers this adaptation. MINT COLLINS Juice of ½ lemon 2 ounces mint-flavoured gin Carbonated water This drink is prepared by shaking the lemon juice and gin with ice cubes. After straining into a 12-ounce chimney glass, add more ice cubes. Top the glass with carbonated water and stir gently. A lemon slice, orange slice, and a cherry serve as decoration. Serve with straws.
