Old Tom Gin

Old Tom Gin is a slightly sweetened gin which makes for a great Tom Collins, and is also critical for other cocktails including the Martinez. Old Tom was a hugely popular style in the late 1800s and was notorious as London’s Gin scene was driven underground. Drinkers would look for cat-shaped wall plaques, drop a coin in the cat’s mouth, and a shot of gin would be dispensed from a tube.
