Cran Collins
Cran Collins Instructions
The Cran Collins is a refreshing cocktail that combines the tartness of cranberry juice with the crispness of soda water. This drink is perfect for those who enjoy a fruity and fizzy beverage.
To make a Cran Collins, start by filling a highball glass with ice. Add a shot of cranberry juice and the juice of half a lemon. Mix these together with a spoon or a cocktail stirrer.
Next, add a shot of simple syrup to sweeten the drink. If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by combining equal parts sugar and water and heating until the sugar dissolves. Let the syrup cool before using.
Finally, top off the glass with soda water. Give the drink a gentle stir to combine all the flavors. Garnish with a lemon slice or a few fresh cranberries for an extra festive touch.
Enjoy your Cran Collins while relaxing by the pool or at a summer barbecue. Its bright and tangy flavors are sure to be a hit!
Best served in a Old-Fashioned Glass.

Cran Collins is a refreshing cocktail that combines the tartness of cranberry juice with the sweetness of simple syrup and the fizziness of soda water. This drink is a variation of the classic Tom Collins cocktail, which dates back to the 19th century.
To make a Cran Collins, you will need:
- 2 oz gin
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- Cranberry juice
- Soda water
Start by filling a glass with ice cubes. Add the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the glass and stir well to combine. Top up the glass with cranberry juice, leaving some space at the top for soda water. Give it another gentle stir before topping it off with soda water.
The origins of this drink are not entirely clear, but it likely originated as a seasonal twist on the traditional Tom Collins cocktail. The addition of cranberry juice gives this drink a festive touch perfect for holiday gatherings or any time you're in need of something refreshing.
When serving Cran Collins at your next party or gathering, consider garnishing each glass with a slice of lemon or fresh cranberries for an extra pop of color and flavor. Cheers!
