Flavors
A Collins is an invigorating and refreshing drink that combines the flavor of tequila with citrus and herbal notes. The main base of this cocktail is tequila, which has a slightly sweet taste with hints of pepper, caramel, and agave nectar. This spirit adds depth to the drink without overpowering it.
To balance out tequila’s earthy flavors, lime juice is added for some zesty acidity. Lemon juice also helps to bring out the sweetness in the cocktail by providing a tart contrast.
Finally, simple syrup gives Tequila Collins its signature smoothness while adding a hint of sweetness that complements the other ingredients very well. With its combination of bold yet subtle flavors, Tequila Collins can be enjoyed either on its own or as part of a larger cocktail menu.
