Brockmans\u2019 unique taste makes for a drink that tastes intriguing and complex.<br \/>\nThe Tom Collins recipe was first published in the 1870s and there is a good reason it has survived all these decades: this cocktail is sophisticated and refreshing. What didn\u2019t, of course, matter in the 1870s was just how Zoom-worthy this drink is: it looks as good on that party screen as it tastes.<br \/>\nFor some professional tips, Brockmans has released a video showing just how to create this classic cocktail, hosted by Brockmans\u2019 Brand Ambassador, Mike:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-626597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/gro-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/gro-1.jpg 301w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/gro-1-55x55.jpg 55w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/gro-1-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/gro-1-115x115.jpg 115w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/gro-1-144x144.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><br \/>\nIngredients for our classic Brockmans Tom Collins<br \/>\n45ml Brockmans Gin<br \/>\n30ml Fresh lemon juice<br \/>\n15ml Sugar syrup<br \/>\n60ml Soda water<br \/>\nLemon<br \/>\nBlueberries \u2013 ideally fresh but frozen blueberries are fine too<\/p>\n<p>However, be creative.
