Hey Friends,

Welcome to the Mom Cocktail Series, a space where we celebrate small joys, simple recipes, and the art of reclaiming a little “me time,” one glass at a time. Whether you have five minutes or fifteen, these recipes are designed to feel doable, refreshing, and just a little bit indulgent. Today, we will be making Citrus Mom Collins.

🍋 Citrus “Mom” Collins

Ingredients

• 2 oz gin
• 1 oz fresh lemon juice
• ½ oz fresh orange juice (the “mom” twist—adds warmth and sweetness)
• ½–¾ oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
• Club soda (to top)
• Ice

Optional garnish

• Lemon wheel
• Orange slice
• Mint sprig

Instructions

1. Fill a tall glass (Collins glass if you have one) with ice.
2. Add gin, lemon juice, orange juice, and simple syrup.
3. Stir gently to combine.
4. Top with club soda.
5. Give it a light stir again and garnish.

Flavor profile
Crisp and fizzy like a classic Collins, but softer and slightly sweeter from the orange—less sharp than straight lemon, making it super easy to sip.

~ Cheers!!
