One of two members of the Collins family famous in bars

in the old days. Who the original Collins was, it seems diffi–

cult to establish. Tom Collins was the favorite of the two

with most drinkers, and therefore better known. The differ–

ence between the two was that a Tom Collins was made

with Old Tom Gin-or supposedly-while a John Collins

was made with Holland Gin.
