* Tom Collins

The Tom Collins is a Collins cocktail made from gin, lemon juice, sugar and carbonated water.

In 1874, people in New York, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere in the United States would start a conversation with " Have you seen Tom Collins?

" After the listener predictably reacts by explaining that they did not know a Tom Collins, the speaker would assert that Tom Collins was talking about the listener to others and that Tom Collins was " just around the corner ", " in a bar ," or somewhere else near.

The conversation about the nonexistent Tom Collins was a proven hoax of exposure.

In The Great Tom Collins hoax of 1874, as it became known, the speaker would encourage the listener to act foolishly by reacting to patent nonsense that the hoaxer deliberately presents as reality.

In particular, the speaker desired the listener to become agitated at the idea of someone talking about them to others such that the listener would rush off to find the purportedly nearby Tom Collins.

Similar to The New York Zoo hoax of 1874, several newspapers propagated the very successful practical joke by printing stories containing false sightings of Tom Collins.

The recipe for the Tom Collins first appeared in the 1876 edition of Jerry Thomas ' " The Bartender's Guide ".

Since New York based Thomas would have known about the wide spread hoax and the contents of the 1876 published book were developed during or right after The Great Tom Collins hoax of 1874, the hoax event is the most plausible source of the name for the Tom Collins cocktail.
