In our opinion, a Southside requires a fragrant gin to stand up against all that mint and lime. Old Sins Gin is not only packed full of aromatic hand-harvested botanicals, it’s a Navy Strength gin that will add a definitive kick to this cool minty cocktail. Using fresh mint leaves in the cocktail shaker creates a pronounced and refreshing mint flavour that combines perfectly with gin, citrus and sugar. Even better if you grow your own! This moreish summer cocktail is difficult to put down! Just keep sipping...

Pour the Old Sins Gin, lime juice and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker, then add the mint leaves and fill with ice. Shake until the outside of the shaker turns frosty and double strain your Old Sins Southside into a Nick & Nora cocktail glass. Then add the finishing touch – a fresh sprig of mint to garnish.
