    I was drinking this beverage in the tropics over 50 years ago and in those days it was made with gin: what is described is a Tom Collins which is whisky based!

    John Collins comprises measure of gin; a splash of squash, either lemon or grapefuit; a slice of lemon; marachino cherry; an ice cube or crushed ice; top up with soda.

    There’s also a rum based Collins but I can’t remember the applied name.
