Background and Origins of
Southside
The Southside cocktail has a storied history, deeply rooted in both Prohibition-era lore and sophisticated social scenes. Legend has it that this refreshing drink was a favorite of notorious gangsters who frequented speakeasies on Chicago's South Side, hence its name. The Southside was reputedly the go-to choice for members of Al Capone's gang, who favored it for its ability to mask the harsh taste of bootleg gin with the bright flavors of mint and citrus. Another story suggests that the Southside was a staple at the Southside Sportsmen's Club on Long Island, a luxurious establishment where New York's elite would gather. Here, the cocktail was enjoyed by the upper crust, adding a layer of sophistication and class to its history.
