Southside

Essentially a Gin Sour or Collins infused with fresh mint, the Southside Cocktail is a classic gin cocktail that has only recently been brought back to life. Charles calls it a “gateway cocktail.” That is, an easy-drinking cocktail for bar patrons who might otherwise feel shy about drinking gin. Longtime gin lovers flock to this one as well. It starts with a classic London Dry-style gin — distilled to our specifications — which we combine with real lime juice, a touch of simple syrup and a bouquet of mint for flavor and aroma.

The Southside drink is the perfect introduction to gin. Many drinkers fall into the habit of choosing a spirit in their early drinking days and sticking with it for years to come. Those looking to dip their toes into the gin waters should consider the Southside cocktail. This easy drinking delight is perfect for just about any occasion.

Serve the Southside drink over ice, garnished with a fresh mint sprig.
