Alcoholic Cocktail Collins Glass 5 ingredients

Recipe

  • 2 oz Schnapps (Peach)
  • 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
  • 4 oz club Soda
  • 1 Maraschino Cherry
  • 1 Orange

Instructions

Like the Bloody Mary, everyone has their own way of making a Tom Collins, so make your best Tom Collins, except substitue Peach Schnapps for the Gin. The amounts and method above make a fairly mild and sweet, but successfully balanced drink. Using a smaller highball glass will strengthen it. This was invented by me, Tim Shriver, at the Phi Mu Alpha House at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Illinois. It seems to be very popular among the few who get to try this drink. I named this drink after a friend of mine, Phil, who loves his Peach Schnapps.Build this drink in order in an ice-filled collins glass. Stir the Peach Schnapps and Lemon Juice briefly in the serving glass. The 4 oz of club Soda is an approximation. The size of the glass and ice cubes may change the exact proportions. It is intended that the remainder be filled. Sour Mix to taste is optional also. Garnish with a Cherry and Orange slice.

About Phil Collins

The Phil Collins cocktail is a refreshing and fruity beverage that offers a delightful twist on the classic Tom Collins. It features a base of peach schnapps, which lends a sweet and aromatic profile, perfectly complemented by the bright acidity of lemon juice. The addition of club soda provides a bubbly effervescence, making the drink light and invigorating. A maraschino cherry and a slice of orange serve as both garnish and subtle flavor enhancers, adding a touch of visual appeal and a hint of citrusy zing.

The Phil Collins cocktail is a modern reinterpretation inspired by the legendary Tom Collins, a drink that dates back to the 19th century. While the Tom Collins is traditionally made with gin, lemon juice, sugar, and club soda, the Phil Collins swaps out the gin for peach schnapps, creating a sweeter and more fruit-forward experience. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a playful spin on classic cocktails, offering a taste that is both familiar and refreshingly new.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Collins Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
