Fresh, sharp, and built around mint. At its simplest you can call it a gin mojito. Swap the rum for gin. Keep the mint, citrus, and sweetness. Shake, strain, and you have the idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"340\" data-end=\"380\"\u003eThe history has a few competing stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"382\" data-end=\"604\"\u003eOne version links it to Chicago in the early 1900s. The “South Side” of the city had rougher spirits during Prohibition, so bartenders used mint, sugar, and lemon to soften the taste. Gin made it cleaner and more aromatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"544\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"544\"\u003eThese are made to order, and not held in stock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"544\"\u003ePlease use within 7 days of receiving. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"544\"\u003eSend your pouch back to us, using our free-post service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll pouches hold 700ml.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis can be served as 10 x 70ml servings or 7 x 100ml servings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn receiving, refrigerate and enjoy within 7 days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake the pouch before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEither pour into a shaker with ice or straight into your glass with ice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen ice is added to the cocktail, accounting for ice dilution the cocktail will increase between 20% to 40% resulting in a serve around 150ml.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarnish as suggested.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplorer's Gin \/ Lime and Lemon Juice \/ Mint \/ Simple Sugar Syrup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Downton Distillery UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420568793465,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0137\/6917\/9200\/files\/Southside_Cocktail.jpg?v=1769268344","url":"https:\/\/downtondistillery.com\/products\/cocktails-southside-downton-distillery","provider":"Downton Distillery UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
