Notes
To convert measurements: 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons
Sweetness level: Start with 3/4 ounce simple syrup if you prefer drinks on the balanced side, or use 1 full ounce for a sweeter Tom Collins.
Make it a pitcher: Multiply the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup by the number of servings. Refrigerate until ready to serve, then add approximately 4 oz to each glass with ice cubes and top with club soda.
