What’s the Difference Between a Tom Collins and a Gin and Tonic?

The Tom Collins and Gin and tonic are both gin-based cocktails. Gin and tonics are made with gin and tonic water, making it more tart. A Tom Collins is gin, syrup, lemon juice, and club soda, so it is on the sweeter end of the drink spectrum.
