The Tom Collins is one of the easiest classic gin cocktails to make, needing no special skills or fancy ingredients. It’s simple formula makes it easy to put your own spin on it, and the handful of berries added in here make it stunning, refreshing drink! If you can’t get hold of fresh berries, frozen will work just as well - just muddle them for a little longer to release the juices.
