This is the worst Tom Collins I've ever had. It's watery and tasteless.

This recipe is missing some important ingredients. It doesn't call for any ice, which is essential for a Tom Collins.

I tried this recipe and it didn't turn out well. The Tom Collins was too strong and the lemon flavor was overpowering.

This Tom Collins is a little too sweet for my taste. I would cut back on the sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of gin, but this Tom Collins is really good. The lemon and sugar balance out the gin flavor perfectly.
