Ingredients
- 2 oz Bourbon (~100 proof)
- 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- ¾ oz Rock Candy (or Rich Simple) Syrup
- 2 oz Club Soda
- 1 Mint Sprig

Substitute bourbon for gin and your Tom Collins becomes the Johnny Collins! Named after John Barleycorn, a traditional nickname for bourbon (and the title of bourbon-lover Jack London’s autobiography) this cocktail pairs the elegance of bourbon with the fun of lemonade to produce one darn delicious warm-weather drink!
