Southside 

Southside

As with so many Prohibition-era cocktails, the origin of this libation is murky. Some say it came from the southside of Chicago, where rank-tasting bath tub gin was mixed with sugar and citrus to make it palatable. Others claim it was created at the 21 Club in New York City. Either way, it’s a delightful summer cocktail for anyone.
