History

South Side’s roots trace back to Prohibition‑era lore, mixing gin, mint, citrus, and sweetness into a sleek, speakeasy‑ready sour. It feels like a cousin to the Mojito filtered through a martini glass. Fresh herbs soften the gin’s edge, giving a polished but lively character for guests who enjoy bright, mint‑driven cocktails with a clean finish.
