Tom Collins: "Okay, you don't smash the cherry on that."

It's Mad Men Cocktail Friday and I'm borrowing Sally Draper's Tom Collins expertise for the day. From Tom Collins to Bloody Mary, the eldest Draper child knows her stuff when it comes to cocktails.

"Just plop it in at the end. Try to keep it in the top of the glass. Gin."

On a seemingly eternal quest to prove her adulthood, Sally began mixing drinks garnished with sass in the early days of Mad Men.

In lieu of your own Sally, you'll probably have to mix your own Tom Collins. Cheers!
