The Rum Collins is a variation on the Tom Collins, swapping gin for rum to create a softer, slightly sweeter version. It follows the same classic structure that has stood the test of time.
With rum, lemon, sugar, and soda, it is light, refreshing, and easy to drink. The rum changes the character while keeping the balance intact. It is a simple but effective twist.
Why Lush Life Loves It
I reach for this when I want something refreshing but a little softer than a gin based drink. It always feels easy and relaxed.
