South Side

It’s a classic for a reason the fantastically tasty and gloriously simple Southside!

2 oz Gin

1 oz Lime Juice

½ oz Sugar Syrup

5-7 mint leaves

Add your mint leaves and gin into your shaker and given everything a good squish together to get the mintyness flowing, add your sugar, lime and ice and give everything a good shake before straining out into your glass.

You’ll definitely need a fine strainer with this one otherwise you’ll picking bits of green out of your teeth all evening.

The Southside is a great drink, it is simplicity itself and dam tasty, we both loved it.

If you want a longer drink then use the same quantities but serve in a highball glass and top up with soda water to make a Southside Fizz, or if you’re feeling particularly fancy then use a coupe or flute and top up with sparkling wine to create a Southside Royale.

So many many options for delicious drinks, enjoy!
