Southside

Dating back to at least 1916 and the cocktail book, "Recipes for Mixed Drinks" by Hugo Ensslin, the Southside cocktail is like a classic gin sour with the addition of fresh mint. Simple and refreshing, it requires no tweaking to make it a standout non-alcoholic cocktail. We're not going to let that stop us from adding a few dashes of our Orange bitters, though, because everything is #betterwithbitters.

You'll find that some Southside cocktail recipes call for lemon juice while others specify lime. In our non-alcoholic version, we've chosen lemon, but feel free to play around with either citrus (or a combination of both!).

Recipe Note

We like this one super classic with Monday Zero Alcohol Gin, but it'll also work well with unique botanical spirits like Seedlip Garden, Wilderton Lustre, Pentire Adrift, etc.

MAKE IT MINDFULLY LOW ALCOHOL
Just use 1 ounce regular gin and 1 ounce non-alcoholic gin to cut the alcohol in half. Get loose, mindfully!
