About
The Southside is a refreshing gin-based cocktail that combines the tartness of lime juice with the aromatic freshness of mint. Often enjoyed during summer, it is a popular choice for those seeking a crisp and slightly sweet drink. This cocktail can be traced back to the early 20th century and has ties to New York, though it is believed to have roots in Chicago as well. With its clean, herbal flavor, the Southside is perfect for casual gatherings and is a delightful variation of a gin sour.
