The southside is a mint-forward cocktail recipe, not to be confused with the Chicago South Side cocktail recipe: https://youtu.be/EdZZB7UYbS8

Mint, citrus and the beautiful taste of a crisp American gin and you have a prohibition style drink that is using mint for intrigue and flavor instead of hiding the bad taste of a bathtub gin. The simplicity is perfect for building these from memory with friends and not have to break the bank or clutter the counter.

Much like 1920's drinks these are built with simplicity and ease in mind. In a time where spirits were hard to come by, a speakeasy was the place to find them, and the ingredients were minimal and affordable.

The Southside
- 2 oz Gin
- ¾ oz Fresh lemon or lime juice
- ¾ oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar:water)
- 6–8 Mint leaves
- Garnish: mint sprig (optional)
