Frozen Tom Collins Food

Think of this frozen drink as a Tom Collins meets Italian lemon ice: It's refreshingly sweet-tart, boozy and fully capable of giving you brain freeze in a painfully nostalgic way. Since colder temperatures can shift the way we perceive sweetness, frozen drinks read less sweet on the palate and thus require a bit more added sugar to balance flavors. This recipe employs a final flourish of syrupy maraschino cherries, stirred in to taste. If you're skipping the cherries or don't have time to run out to stock up, you can simply add a bit more simple syrup to taste while blending. You'll lose the brilliant color contrast - and the outright fun of snacking on ice-cold, candylike cherries - but, like most good drinks, this one's adaptable.

Almost nothing is more refreshing on a hot day than a Tom Collins, perhaps the Platonic ideal of gin (use the good stuff, says Reiner), lemon juice, bubbles, and sugar.

The Tom Collins is perhaps the ultimate highball and one of history's most enduring cocktails. It was historically made with Old Tom gin, which is sweeter than London dry gin, but the drink works well with both types of the spirit. (Old Tom only recently became available again, thanks to the clamoring of mixologists.) A peculiar methodology is used in mixing up a Tom Collins. Though it contains fresh juice, which usually dictates that the drink must be shaken, it is nonetheless often built in the glass in which it is served. But shaking the drink and then straining it into an ice-filled highball works as well, and arguably leads to a better integrated cocktail.

This was my mom's favorite drink when I was younger. I remember my uncle making these for her and I always asked her for the maraschino cherry. Found the recipe on a popular mix drink website.
