This Vodka Collins recipe couldn’t be simpler to make and it’s so refreshing on a hot day!
Oh, hiiiiiii!
How are you today? Me? I’m great. I’ve just discovered my most favoritest drink recipe in all the land.
How many of them did I drink, you ask?
Well, how many do you think is too many? Because I drank one less than that.
This Vodka Collins is my new go to cocktail!
I’ve been making Vodka Collins with my homemade sweet and sour mix, which FYI, is divine. It’s fresh and tasty and doesn’t have any weird stuff like the neon yellow stuff from the liquor store bottle. Of course, don’t let it stop you if all you have around is store bought sweet and sour mix.
This vodka collins tastes great either way!
This is super refreshing for a summer cocktail, but I drink these all year round.
Give these a try and let me know what you think! I bet you’ll find yourself a new favorite drink recipe, too!

Yummy! How can I pin this? 🙂

Ohmigosh. I love you…because I think you just taught me how to make Collins Mixer. I’m guessing sweet and sour and club soda? Funny thing – my parents never drank but we always had Collins Mixer in the house and it was my FAVORITE drink. Now I can make my own, adult style!

@Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust,
Yes! Try it with gin for a Tom Collins! I think some people add a cherry or a little grenadine, but not me. 🙂

Helllllllll yeah. Vodka Collins, my name is Hayley. So nice to meet you.
Melissa says
Oh my yumminess! This is on my must make to get through Christmas, I mean, well, no that’s what I mean…you have apparently met my family. No? Well either way these with help with that!
Melissa says
OK!! I was wondering how to turn this all Thomas Collins-y. That’s my hubby’s fave drink. I’m excited to make this for him!!
Joanne says
One less than too many for me might be one and a half because…I’m kind of a lightweight. They sound awesome though!!
Karen @ My Pantry Shelf says
As a child, collins mix was my favorite “fancy drink” to celebrate with as my parents and their friends made the most of happy hour. Now I’m a vodka drinker myself, but never thought to combine the two. I will definitely try your sweet and sour mix. Thanks!
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes says
Impressive that you made your own sweet and sour mix! I wanna try this soo bad – i’m a vodka girl all the way 🙂
Joanna says
Yummy! And these are so good if made with vanilla vodka or raspberry vodka. Too bad I can’t have a little one of these while I am at work right now 🙁 lol

I”m going to have to sneak a bottle of volka in the house for a rare occasion like this!
Cookbook Queen says
Is this like Tom Collins on Meet the Parent’s? Because that makes it totally worthsies.

nicole @ I am a Honey Bee says

Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl says
How did you know this is just what I needed this week (and um…next week as well, to get through the holidays with the in-laws)??
Sheree Hartung says
This looks delicious!! Definitely on the list for our next party 🙂
Jackie says
What brand of vodka did you use in this recipe.
Karly says
I usually use either Smirnoff or Absolut, but any would work!
Ashley says
YUM! Made this last night and it was so refreshing. My usual drink is a diet gin and tonic, and this was just as good. I guess I’ll have to have one every night since I now have the mix in the fridge, ready to go… 🙂
Jeannie Zepol says
Tried this drink tonight. It is sooooo good!!! It’s my new favorite drink. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe for all of it.
Karly says
@Jeannie Zepol,
Wonderful! Glad you like it!
Marie says
You should know that this is somehow EVEN BETTER with whipped cream flavored vodka. It tastes like pie.
Karly says

Oh my. Must try!
