Southside Cocktail

 

INGREDIENTS

· 2 lime wedges

· 1 ounce Simple Syrup

· 2 sprigs mint

· 2 ounces gin

· Splash of club soda

 

DIRECTIONS

· 1. Squeeze the lime wedges into a cocktail shaker (if you’re the sort who needs to measure, you should have 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice) and drop the wedges into the shaker. Add the simple syrup and mint. Muddle with a long-handled spoon to bruise the mint and extract some of the oils from the lime peel. Add the gin and enough ice to fill the shaker halfway. Cover and shake.

· 2. Add a big splash of soda, roll the cocktail into a highball glass, and serve.
