Southside
Minty, bright and refreshingly citrusy, the Southside has roots in summer garden parties and club-house cocktails. It’s often compared to a mojito’s cousin and is popular at outdoor and rooftop bars.

Steps
Place 6–8 mint leaves and 15–20 ml simple syrup in the shaker and gently muddle once or twice to release oils (do not over-bruisе).
Add 60 ml gin and 30 ml fresh lime juice to the shaker.
Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds.
Double-strain into a chilled coupe for a refined presentation or into an ice-filled highball for a longer serve.
Slap a mint sprig between your palms to wake the aromatics and place it as garnish.
Serve immediately — bright, minty and refreshingly tart.
