This drink is a little nostalgic for me. Only because when I was young, and my parents took us to a nice restaurant or on a vacation, I distinctly remember them drinking vodka Collins and it is good :). So this one goes out to you mom and dad...

*to get more juice from your lemon, stab it with a fork a few times and microwave on high for 15 to 20 seconds, then roll it on the counter under your palm a few times.
Make it a Tom Collins, by substituting gin for the vodka.
This weekend I hope you do something creative, get some zzzz's, laugh a lot, and feel a little glamorous too.
