Triple Sec 20
Fresh Lemon Juice 20

Lynchburg is the hometown of Jack’s Daniel’s in Tennessee so of course it uses Jack’s. It’s technically a daisy… but like usual Americans dilute everything with a soda, so this occasion is not exception and the used Sprite/Lemonade

Glass: Highball
Ice: Cubes
Method: Shake & Strain

Ingredients and quantities in mL:
Gin 60
Lemon 30
Sugar Syrup 15
Soda Top

Lemon Wedge

Tricks to remember:
Tom Collins is a Gin sour with soda. It also gave the name to the Collins glass which is tall and would look empty if you don’t top up with soda. Shaking adds more dilution than simply build in the glass, so there’s no need to fill with a lot of soda, a little top is enough.
