The Perfect Tom Collins Cocktail

This classy drink is perfect for sipping on a hot Summer's day.  We love a Tom Collins around the pool for a chic BBQ with friends or served during a hot Aussie Christmas.

56ml gin
juice of half a lemon
1 teaspoon caster sugar
soda water

Shake the gin, lemon juice and caster sugar in an ice filled cocktail shaker and strain into an ice filled pilsner or highball glass.  Fill the glass with soda water and stir.  Garnish with a cherry or orange slices.
