Original John Collins

Prepared using a water carbonator, this cocktail was created for Williams-Sonoma by the experts at Rickhouse, a noted bar in San Franciso owned by Future Bars.

Ingredients:

  • Ice as needed
  • 2 oz. genever or whiskey
  • 1 oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 oz. simple syrup
  • Lemon slice for garnish

Directions:

In a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice, combine the genever, lemon juice and simple syrup and shake.

Strain over ice into a tall glass. Using a water carbonator, carbonate water according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fill the glass almost to the top with the sparkling water. Garnish with a lemon slice and serve immediately. Serves 1.
