This drink is made by stirring, and of course using #barspoon . The Rob Roy is a cocktail๐Ÿธ made of #whisky and #vermouth , created in 1894 by a #bartender at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan, New York City. The drink was named in honor of the premiere of an operetta ย Rob Roy๐Ÿ”ฅ. It is basically well-known #manhattan๐Ÿฅƒ made using #scotch instead of Bourbon/Rye. Like the Manhattan, the Rob Roy can be made "sweet", "dry", or "perfect". The standard Rob Roy is the sweet version, made with sweet vermouth, so there is no need to specify a "sweet" Rob Roy when ordering. A "dry" Rob Roy is made by replacing the sweet vermouth with dry vermouth. A "perfect" Rob Roy is made with equal parts sweet and dry vermouth The Rob Roy includes a dash of #angostura bitters and is usually served in a #cocktails glass garnished with two maraschino cherries on a skewer (for the standard version), or a lemon twist (for the perfect and dry versions). Here is the recipe for PERFECT ROB ROY: ยท โญ60 ml/ 2 oz @famousgrouse Scotch Whisky ยท โญ15 ml/ ยฝ oz @martini Extra Dry Vermouth ยทย โญ15 ml/ ยฝ oz @cynarusa ยทย โญ 3 dashes @angosturahouse STIR/COCKTAIL GLASS/DBL STRAIN/GARNISH ๐™‚๐™–๐™ง๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™จ๐™ : Cherry and Lemon twist HOW OFTEN DO YOU USE BAR SPOON?ย  Check out our website, BAR-SKILLS.COM, subscribe for updates (IT IS FREE) to be fully equipped and get a full set of bar skills.

Legend has it that around the end of the 19th century, two Collins brothers, John and Lhone, who worked at the Limmer's restaurant in London, invented a cocktail with the same ingredients, but slightly different alcohol base: John preferred London Dry gin, and his brother preferred Old Tom gin. As a result, the cocktail was codified in the IBA as simply "Collins" by 1937, but since this name provided for many different versions of the same cocktail as in the next cocktail collection of 1993, the name "John Collins" was preferred, which included London Dry Gin. Thus, "John Collins" secured the status of the official IBA cocktail, and "Tom Collins โ€œis a kind of cocktail that was invented by John's brother based on Old Tom gin. Here is our twist on classic John Collins. Here is the Elderflower Collins recipe: โ˜€๏ธ60 ml/ 2 oz @bombaysapphire โ˜€๏ธ7.5 ml / ยผ oz Simple Syrup (1:1) โ˜€๏ธ30 ml / 1 oz Lime Juice โ˜€๏ธ15 ml / ยฝ oz @stgermaindrinks Top w Club Soda (or any sparkling water) GARNISH: Lime Peel and Dehydrated Orange Wheel METHOD: BUILD/COLLINS/STIR/GARNISH Check out our website, BAR-SKILLS.COM, subscribe for updates (IT IS FREE) to be fully equipped and get full set of bar skills.

๐—–๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€ One of the legends๐Ÿ”ฅ that does not find actual confirmation that the John Collins cocktail (the historical first in the Collins series) was invented by the bartender of the Limmer's Hotel in London๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ, John Collins, back in 1890. Initially, the composition of this cocktail included Dutch gin (Geneva). After a while, the cocktail became popular with the English gin Old Tom. And after a while, London dry gin practically removed both jenevers and sweetened gin from the market, and John (Tom) Collinsโ€™s cocktail, regardless of the name, began to be made only with it. Collins consists of strong alcohol (traditionally gin, such a cocktail will be called Tom Collins or John Collins), lemon juice๐Ÿ‹, sugar, and soda. Fred Collins soon appeared, which was made based on rye whiskey. Now, the Collins family has been replenished with Mike (Irish whiskey), Jack (apple brandy), Pierre (cognac), Pedro (rum), Juan (tequila). In North America, now, the name Colonel Collins is called a cocktail with bourbon. In fact, it is obvious that such a simple cocktail in composition and method of preparation appeared at the very dawn of the cocktail era and the authorship is very difficult to establish. At least it is documented that the recipes of the Collins group were known earlier in America, published in the book by Jerry "Professor" Thomas Bartender's Guide, 1876.
