Southside
Chicago, United States|Prep Time: 4 min
Southside gained recognition in both Chicago club culture and New York hotel-bar traditions during the early twentieth century, leading to multiple competing origin stories that reflect its widespread popularity. The combination of mint oils with citrus acidity creates a crisp aromatic profile that remains lighter than most contemporary gin sours. Its versatility allows it to function equally well as a daytime refresher or a pre-dinner citrus aperitif
