Southside

If you like Mojitos and you like gin, then you'll also like this cocktail.

This vintage cocktail is purported to have originated at New York's Twenty-One Club. A long version served over crushed ice is said to have come from the Southside of Chicago during prohibition where it it was drunk by the Southside mobster, while on the other side of town hoodlums enjoyed the Northside (Gin and ginger ale).

Try topped up with Champagne for a Southside Royal or with soda for a Southside Fizz.

60ml Ginepraio Gin

25ml Lime Juice

15ml Sugar Syrup

7 Mint Leaves

Shake all ingredients with ice and fine strain into a chilled coupette glass.
