I rarely get orders for collins drinks. I have been getting more since the bar where I work put a Tom Collins, attractively photographed, in the drinks menu, but people usually don't know what they are, they've just heard of them. When I ask "vodka or gin" most of these people look at the menu, where it says "Tanqueray", and look puzzled because they don't know what kind of liquor that is. So I sigh, and make it as described in the menu, and half-expect them to send it back because it's really not as sweet as it looks like it ought to be.
I always garnish them with a lemon if I'm in a hurry, or a cherry and orange if I'm not. I have never heard of putting olives in. This intrigues me.
I don't generally do tequila shots, but if I ever finish this bloody manuscript I will. :)
