Welcome back to Booze On The Rock were make cocktails for everyone.
My name is David Edwards, and it's great to have you here today.
We're going to make a simple three ingredient cocktail called a Vodka
Collins now this is a cousin to a John Collins, AKA the Tom Collins
which is actually made with gin.
And this is not.
That's correct.
This is not made with gin.
However, it is a perfect introduction to a vodka cocktail, which is great
for the hot weather, but before we get into it and let's talk about
the ingredients, the first thing you need is your vodka of choice.
In this case, I'm using Russian standard.
It's a simple, really easy to use
40% ABV neutral grain spirit.
The next thing you need is a simple syrup.
In this case, I'm using a one-to-one simple syrup, really simple.
I'll put the ingredients in the method of how to make it down
in the description down below.
And the next thing we need is lemons because you can't have a
vodka called without lemon juice.
Let's get into it.
The first thing you need is your shaking glass.
And you're gonna put that off to the side because you actually
need to grab your lemon first.
What you want to do is chop this in half, and then what we'll do is we will cut it.
Cut that in half again and put those over there.
Ready for our garnish.
So grab your glass back, grab your jigger and use your squeezer.
Now we're going to use
it.
Doesn't fit.
We're going to use is one ounce or 30 milliliters.
All right.
Look at that.
Gorgeous.
Throw this off to the side here, this out of the way, just so we
have a nice clean working area, grab a slightly smaller jigger.
And for this, we're going to use our one to one simple syrup.
And for this we're going to use 22 and a half millimeters.
And I said, millimeters, not milliliters 22 and a half milliliters
or three-quarters of an ounce.
Oh yeah.
Now that you've done that, we're going to add our vodka.
So grab your Russian standard or whatever vodka you're using
when you make this at home.
And we're going to use one point five ounces or 45 milliliters.
Now the interesting thing is if you want to change the flavors of
this, you can make adjustments by different types of flavored vodka.
Or if you want, you could maybe muddle a piece of fruit in, but
again, that's totally up to you next.
We're going to grab some.
And you want to fill your bottom shaker all day.
Slap that in place.
Like, so make sure you're solid and shake it with a smile, smack that off.
Like, so now grab your glass of choice.
In this case, I'm using a tall highball glass.
And what we'll do is just put some ice in there.
Just like that back on there.
Now what you want to do is, and you don't have to find strangeness, but you can
just to get rid of any pulp that might actually be inside the drink because you
want a nice, clean, clear, crisp drink.
Look at that.
Perfect.
Take a garnish, slide them in like, so just kind of jam those in place.
Nice and tidy so that they lake grade grab a straw.
And I'm a huge fan of bendy straws.
I can give you a sec.
Oh yeah.
Tart sweet.
That vodka leveled in there perfectly.
Easy and a perfect for the backpack.
