Tom Collins Bar

Ingredients

• 1¼ cups chilled gin
• 1 cup chilled fresh lemon juice
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 lemons, cut into wedges
• 1 mango, cut into ½-inch wedges
• ½ English hothouse cucumber, thinly sliced
• 6 sprigs mint
• 1 4-inch piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled, quartered
• Club soda (for serving)

Steps

1. Combine gin, lemon juice, and sugar in a pitcher or large measuring glass and stir to dissolve sugar; refrigerate gin mixture if not making drinks right away.
2. Do Ahead: Gin mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
3. When ready to serve, arrange lemon wedges, mango, cucumber, mint sprigs, ginger, raspberries, and strawberries on a platter or in separate bowls and set out alongside gin mixture, club soda, and a bucket of ice.
4. For each cocktail, muddle ingredients of your choice (mix and match!) in a Collins glass. Fill with ice, then add ¼ cup gin mixture and top off with club soda.
