Southside Fizz
A riff on the Mojito, but with gin. Light and refreshing, definitely something to enjoy in the summer.
Ingredients
- 2 oz gin
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
- 4-6 mint leaves plus garnish
- top with sparkling water
Instructions
- In a shaker add gin, lime juice, mint, simple syrup, ice cubes. Shake well.
- Strain into highball glass, filled with ice.
- Top with sparkling water, garnish with spring of mint.
Notes
- If you want to amp up the flavor consider adding a flavored syrup instead of simple syrup. I tried one with grenadine syrup and it came out quite nice.
- You can swap the sparkling water with club soda or a tonic for extra flavor.
