Keto John Collins

In the mood for a nightcap, but want something simple and classy? The john collins is the drink for you. No edits are really made to the original recipe to make it Keto, so the john collins is a Keto alcohol drink recipe all on its own. Choose your favorite brand of bourbon to make a john collins. Then, add nothing more than lemon juice (unless you want your drink to have a touch of sweetness to it). Shake the ingredients, pour over ice, and top the drink with fizzy carbonated zero-calorie water. You can use a lemon-flavored water to make the bourbon go down a little smoother too. A john collins is classically garnished with a slice of orange, so don’t forget to grab one at the store. Sip while it’s cool before the ice melts away.

How many ‘collins’ drinks are there?

There are two drinks that you don’t want to confuse with each other: tom collins and john collins. A tom collins is made with gin and lemon, whereas a john collins is the brother made with bourbon and orange. While the flavors are really entirely different from each other, the drinks are made in the same way: shaken and poured over ice.

I don’t own a shaker

If you don’t own a shaker, don’t worry. If you can find two tall glasses that fit inside each other, you can use the pair as a shaker. If nobody is looking, you can even get away with stirring the ingredients in Step 2 and then pouring them directly over ice as opposed to shaking them. The key is to top the drink with your fizzy carbonated water at the end.
