South Side Cocktail was created by Southside Sportsmen's Club on Long Island. It consists of gin (with sugar) and citrus. It isn't clear who made the South Side cocktail but it is considered to be the East Coast's best gin-based drink. Other than the above concoction you can also find many variations at craft cocktail bars. The South Side Cocktail may sound fancy and pre-mixed, but it is an easy cocktail you can make at your own home. The South Side Cocktail is a fun cocktail, with some merit, but not for everyone. Some customers might prefer to alter this tried-and-true recipe.
It might be more difficult, for example, to find the right Gin to pair with your preferred cocktail. Likewise, it's also harder to find a bartender to make a South Side cocktail for you. Do your research before you make that gin-centric choice. Similarly, you'll want to make sure that the proper amount of ingredients are in your glass. You should also make sure you don't consume too much of the cocktail. The cocktail should be enjoyed as a relaxing, after-work drink and not as a cure for a hangover. It's important to wash your hands after leaving the bar.
