The Southside’s origins are as hazy as the opaque cocktail itself. Even its flavor profile — while absolutely delicious — is tough to pinpoint. Is it a gin Mojito? A Gimlet with mint? However you want to make sense of it, the Southside has reentered this list after a brief respite, and we couldn’t be happier to see its return. Ingredients 2 ounces gin 1 ounce simple syrup 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice 4-5 mint leaves Garnish: small mint sprig
