The Proper Cocktail

Collins

Duo's are cocktails made with a liquor and a cordial.  These drinks tend to be sweeter based on the sweetness content of the cordial used.  

Tom Collins

A drink known as a John Collins has existed since the 1860s at the very least and is believed to have originated with a head waiter of that name who worked at Limmer's Old House in Conduit Street in Mayfair, which was a popular London hotel and coffee house around 1790–1817.
