The Tom Collins is a cocktail that dates back to the mid-19th century. The drink is said to have been named after the great ‘Tom Collins Hoax’ that took place in New York City in 1874. The joke was to tell someone that a man at the bar named ‘Tom Collins’ had been spreading rumours about them and point the person towards the bar and ask for Tom Collins. Of course, no such person existed. Eventually after regularly being asked for a Tom Collins a bartender decided to name a cocktail after this fictious character and so the "Tom Collins" cocktail was born. 

Banks Herbarium brings a complexity that includes notes of citrus, spice, and bitterness, that balances out with the sweetness of sugar syrup and the tartness of the lemon juice.
