Interesting facts

The Southside is traditionally made with gin, lemon juice, sugar and mint. However, many modern bartenders have put their own spin on the classic recipe.

History of the drink

Hugo Ensslin's 1916 Recipes for Mixed Drinks includes a recipe for the South Side Fizz, which over the years has evolved into the South Side served straight with soda.
