A John Collins is a Collins cocktail made with London Dry gin, sugar, lemon, and sparkling water. It is first attested in 1869, but may be older. It is believed to have originated with a headwaiter of that name who worked at Limmer's Old House in Conduit Street in Mayfair, which was a popular London hotel and coffee house around 1790–1817.
