We started the Ask the Chef feature to give our guests the opportunity to ask advice on cooking conundrums, recipe tricks, and other culinary challenges that pop up in the kitchen. In our inaugural post, Linda from the UK gets the low down on our Bomb Collins cocktail.

Q: I was dining in Toronto in April and had your Bomb Collins, would be grateful for the recipe, will be a perfect summer drink in the UK!

A: To whip up your own Bomb Collins (best enjoyed on a sunny patio), follow this recipe:

Mildred’s Bomb Collins

2 oz Bombay Sapphire Gin
1/2 oz St. Germain elderflower liqueur
dash of simple syrup
1/2 oz lime juice
soda

Place all ingredients in a tall shaker glass, shake vigorously, pour over ice in a tall, frosted Collins glass & top with a splash of soda.
