Tom Collins Bombay Sapphire

I was kinda bored at home and was surfing the internet. I came across the website for Bombay Sapphire.

The website gives several recipies for coctail with Bombay Sapphire in it. Aside from the urge for an alcoholic drink, my curiosity has made me head over to Jaya Jusco and get a few fresh lemon fruits and a can of Schweppes soda water.

Some of the recipe are quite complicated. One of the easier ones is the Tom Collins.

It requires:

2 parts of Bombay Sapphire.
1 part of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Drizzle of sugar syrup (water + sugar).
Chilled soda water.

Firstly, you have to squeeze some fresh lemon juice. Cut the lemon to half and bla, bla, bla....you know what to do la.

Next, fill the glass till full with ice cubes.

Next, add two parts of Bombay Sapphire. Bombay Sappire contains 40+% of alcohol. So, I strongly recommend you to reduce the 2parts to the level you can "tahan".

Next, add one part of lemon juice followed by sugar syrup. You may wanna add quite a lot of sugar syrup cause lemon can be really sour. Finally, top up the class with a little of soda water. About 30 ml will do.

Ta da! Tom Collins Bombay Sapphire.
