On the Rocks: Southside Lady.
Looks like the pine needle fresh flavor of gin has finally met its perfect partner in lemon. But that’s the Southside Lady for you, a bit of a matchmaker.
Ingredients:
• 2 basil leaves
• 3/4 oz fresh-squeezed lemon juice
• 1 1/2 oz gin
• 1 oz simple syrup
• 1 oz club soda
Gently muddle 1 basil leaf with the lemon juice in the bottom of a mixing glass. Add the gin and simple syrup and shake well. Pour over crushed ice in a cute glass. Top with a splash of soda and garnish with a basil leaf. Serves 1.
