The Tom Collins is a classic cocktail with a refreshing, citrus-forward flavor, originating from 19th-century England. It combines gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda, served over ice in a tall glass and typically garnished with a lemon slice or cherry. The drink is light and bubbly, making it a popular choice for warm weather or casual gatherings. From a nutritional standpoint, the Tom Collins is relatively low in calories compared to creamier or sweeter cocktails, ranging from 150-200 calories depending on the syrup used. However, like most alcoholic beverages, it offers minimal nutritional value and contains sugar from the syrup, which may contribute to your daily intake. Moderation is key to enjoying this cocktail without overindulging. Opting for reduced-sugar or low-calorie sweeteners can make it a slightly healthier choice without compromising its signature tangy taste.
