I saw a picture on Pinterest that looked intriguing. The Tom Collins has a very long history in the bar scene, the recipe for this beverage first appearing in print 1896 by Jerry Thomas. This drink is more or less a glorified lemonade and the modern version includes a garnish of maraschino cherry. <br /> <br />My version is based on the Pinterest photograph of a cucumber Collins. Grapes and rosemary add a sweet and savory note in this variation of a classic. This drink would be a great addition to any party or celebration as a signature cocktail. It can be made ahead and the recipe may be doubled or tripled.
