Southside Cocktail

With its convoluted historical origins, The Southside Cocktail is an easy and delicious cocktail to add to your repertoire. While New York’s 21 Club lays claim to a famous, potentially Prohibition era recipe, the origin of the Southside could go back even further to the Southside Sportsmen’s Club in Long Island. Similar to a Gimlet and Tom Collins and even the Mojito (with gin replacing the rum), The Southside is deliciously simple and a great cocktail to add to your repertoire.
