A rainy Sunday was made delightful with a new cocktail:

Southside

• 5 mint leaves
• 1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 ounces gin
• 1 ounce simple syrup
• Garnish: mint sprig

Add the mint leaves and lemon juice into a shaker and gently muddle. Add the gin and simple syrup with ice, and shake until well-chilled. Double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a mint sprig.
