The Southside 2oz @beefeatergin London Dry Gin .75 oz fresh lime juice . 75oz simple syrup 6-8 decent sized mint leaves Shake, fine strain, garnish with fresh mint This drink is pretty much a gimlet with the addition of fresh mint. It's origin is debated, but it was possibly created during prohibition at the 21 club in New York, or more likely, 40 years earlier at the Southside Sportsmens Club on Long Island. Its a great tweak to the gimlet and if you have a few slices of cucumber you can toss that in the shaker and enjoy an eastside cocktail. The Southside is a great recipe to riff on too. Just swap out lime for lemon and/or substitute different fresh herbs.
