The Lemon Southside is a Prohibition-era classic that reads like a gin sour with an herbal twist. Fresh mint muddled into the base lifts the botanicals of the gin while softening the citrus punch, creating a drink that's crisp, aromatic, and refreshing without veering into sweetness. It's straightforward summer drinking with a speakeasy pedigree.
