the Southside
Move over Mojito.
The Southside has a lot in common with the Mojito, but this combination of gin and mint has a charm all its own.
2 oz Rhodium Gin
1 oz lime juice
half oz simple syrup*
handful fresh mint leaves
Tear up mint and add with other ingredients to a shaker. Shake with ice and strain into martini glass. Garnish with lime slice or mint leaf.
*To make your own simple syrup, heat equal parts sugar and water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir until dissolved. Bottle and refrigerate.
