Make a Southside Cocktail

Let’s make an easy and refreshing cocktail that uses mint. Let's make a Southside.
Hugo Ensslin created this drink in 1916 as the Southside Fizz, but Speakeasys in Chicago's Southside, as well as the 21 club in Manhattan, lost the fizz and made the drink popular.
Recipe:
10-12 mint leaves
2 Ounces (60 ml) gin
3/4 ounce (22.5 ml) lime juice
3/4 ounce (22.5 ml) simple syrup
Combine everything in the cocktail tin, add ice and shake for 20 seconds. No need to muddle the mint, shaking will incorporate all the mint flavor. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a mint leaf. Cheers!

Most recipes use lime. The first recipe we found had lemon and it is quite refreshing. I love them both ways or with both lemon and lime. It's our favorite cocktail. Put over rocks and add seltzer for a Gin Mojito. I call it a Ginjito. Wonderful.
