Juan Collins
- Total Time: 2 minutes
- Yield: 1 Serving 1x
Description
The Juan Collins is a refreshing twist on the classic Tom Collins cocktail, substituting gin for tequila to bring a vibrant Mexican flair to the traditional mix.
This cocktail recipe blends the smooth, agave-rich flavour of tequila with the bright acidity of lemon juice, sweetened slightly with simple syrup and topped off with the fizz of soda.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz or 60 ml Tequila
- 1 oz or 30 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz or 15 ml Simple syrup
- Soda water, to top

Instructions

Notes
A fusion of the Tom Collins and the Margarita, the Juan Collins skips the triple sec in favour of the lighter soda water to showcase tequila’s versatile flavour.
