Southside - The 2nd best way to use Mint in a cocktail!

Traditionally viewed as a 3 ingredient cocktail - this gin concoction always hits the mark!

In keeping true to the drink creator's version and throwing convenience out the door , this recipe calls for a double dose of citrus using both lemon and lime juice.

It packs a flavour punch!

INGREDIENTS
4 - 6 mint leaves
2 oz / 60 ml gin
3/4 oz / 22.5 ml simple syrup
1/2 oz / 15 ml lemon juice
1/2 oz / 15 ml lime juice

Tried an Eastside from your recipe book last night Steve. It was delightful, and your book is awesome, inspiring and organized in a thoughtful and efficient way.

Love the use of both lemon and lime; will have to try next time!

Adding in cucumber when muddling makes it even better !

Sounds like the perfect summer refresher. Pitty there's been no sun in scotland for ages now😂. Will just have to drink this in the house with the heating on😂

May I understand why the lemon and lime mix? I like it just want to understand the logic.

So it's like a mojito but with gin instead of rum?

U want a little sugar in there to help cut the mint up !

[samvegodfather]

Looks great, any alternatives to simple syrup

Nah some cocktail fraud just wanted to be relevant so copied the mojito and changed it the tiniest bit.
