Recipe
You'll need
- 2 oz gin (Solstice gin from Benz Beverage Depot on the show)
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 oz simple syrup
- 6 to 10 fresh mint leaves
Make it
- Gently muddle the mint leaves with the simple syrup in a shaker.
- Add the gin and citrus, fill with ice and shake hard.
- Double strain over a big ice cube in a rocks glass (or into a chilled coupe).
Named after the Southside Inn, a fancy Long Island spot from around Prohibition, not the South Side of Chicago. Served over a big cube instead of a stemmed glass, and with a few stray mint leaves since the double strainer got left behind. Tastes like a lemon-lime popsicle with mint, close to a mojito. It won over at least one gin skeptic, who called it top five.
Also poured on the Patreon after-show Common Drinking Sayings / Myths.
