How to remember it

Double gin: a Tom Collins that adds sloe gin next to the regular gin, turning it ruby red. Sloe is a berry, not slow service.

Compare with Tom Collins

Drink family: Sparkling Sour · A sour + something fizzy on top

Build the sour, then add the bubbles last so they stay lively.
