I don't recall the exact recipe they ran, but you'll need to tinker with the proportions anyway. Here's how I make them:
(1) Juice one lemon
(2) Add two tablespoons of simple syrup (the only part of the Collins that needs to be done in advance -- the method I use from my memories of bar-back days is to dissolve 1 unit of sugar in 1 unit of boiling water, stirring until clear, and then refrigerate in a glass bottle)
(3) Add a shot and a half of gin
(4) Ice in a tall glass
(5) club soda the rest of the way
(6) drink
(7) Lather, rinse, repeat

I'd rather have a gimlet.
