This Tom Collins cocktail has been popular for a long time, but the origin of the name is still up for debate. Some think it was named after a sweet gin called Old Tom, and others believe the drink was named after the bartender who invented it. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

I'm not a huge fan of gin, but I really enjoyed this cocktail. The lemon and lime flavors really shine through.
