Southside Cocktail Recipe

Have you ever heard of a Southside Cocktail? We hadn’t, not until recently when gave it a try. It’s a simple cocktail recipe – Gin-based, mint-kissed with a touch of citrus. There’s quite a history, too. Some say it came out of the prohibition era, others claim it was created in New York city at the 21 Club. Where ever it may have started, we’re happy it’s here.

This variation adds a few extra twists. We used lime for the citrus (other Southside cocktail recipes may call for lemon) and while we did shake the cocktail with lots of mint, we strained it well and served over ice. We added a few drops of aromatic bitters, too.
