The story behind Far East Collins
This house Collins combines vodka, lemongrass, lemon and soda as a bright Russian Far East-inspired highball. It is a modern site creation rather than a documented regional classic.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
