Cutty Collins is a refreshing cocktail that dates back to the 19th century. This classic drink is a variation of the Tom Collins, but it uses Cutty Sark Scotch whisky instead of gin.

Origins of the Cutty Collins
The origins of the Cutty Collins can be traced back to London in the mid-1800s. It was created as a twist on the popular Tom Collins cocktail, which typically consists of gin, lemon juice, sugar, and soda water. The name "Collins" comes from John Collins, who was a bartender at Limmer's Hotel in London during this time period.
The story goes that one day, someone decided to swap out gin for Scotch whisky in their Tom Collins recipe and thus the Cutty Collins was born. The use of Cutty Sark Scotch whisky gives this cocktail a unique flavor profile with hints of peatiness and maltiness that complement the tartness of the lemon juice perfectly.
