Comments on: Blackberry Tom Collins cocktail for Jen & Jeremy http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/blackberry-tom-collins-cocktail-mixed-drink-recipes/ Food Photography Blog | Los Angeles Food Photographers Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:58:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Findley http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/blackberry-tom-collins-cocktail-mixed-drink-recipes/#comment-11832 Findley Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:35:24 +0000 http://whiteonricecouple.com/blog/?p=291#comment-11832 I realize I am about a year behind the 8 ball, but I am drinking this right now and really enjoying it! I made it with Hendrick's gin (yum.....) and it;s quite the tasty summertime treat. My one tweak is that I added about a few more squeezes of lime juice (~1/4 more of a lime) than recommended, which I would recommend to others trying it out for the first time (but maybe taste the original first...).

I only got one hour of them and you got five! You're right though: They are an absolutely treasure. I'm glad you treated them right! There should be more of them in the world. :) Love your last picture of figs. We have two trees of them that will require quite a bit more heat until the fruit is ripe, but we're just starting to get some good, reasonably priced ones in our market. The other day I got some light green and yellow striped ones called a Candystripe. Not as tasty as our favorit Black Mission but absolutely lovely. Ahhhh—no fair!

I can't wait to try it. I am a big fan of Tom Collins (more people should make them)…This one sounds so good, and summery. I can’t wait to try it.

We had such a fantastic time at your place. Love the pups, love the yard, love the food, but especially love you two!! (Shhhh - don't tell Sierra I said that, she thinks she owns me now). Thank you for an incredible meal. I wish I had multiple stomachs like cows do so I could have eaten more of the terrific treats you set out before us. Jeremy wouldn't shut up about it for days on end. It got to be a little torturous to think about while backpacking too! Come see us in CO. Anytime. Big hugs and kisses to you both and the to the puppers. xxoo Awww, you guys are THE BEST! We had such a fantastic time at your place.

Looks incredible! I wonder how a virgin blackberry collins would taste?! I'm so glad you showed off the tropical fruit?? I didn't recognize ONE of them! I live in such a box! With a very tight lid! I did recognize the figs though - love them - but I didn't know there was such a variety! So thanks for the post - I wouldn't have learned nearly as much at an $85 class at Sur La Table! Nan P.S. As always I'm VERY impressed with your photography...beautiful pics! If I could drink I’d make me up a pitcher full right now! Looks incredible! I wonder how a virgin blackberry collins would taste?!

You have fresh figs, which beats skis any day of the week, believe me. Must go jump over to their blog and see what they said. eHugs from the High Plains. Omigawd, I’m surprised they didn’t move in!
