Prep time : 3 minutes

Strength : Light
When great drinks exist it’s normal for people to play about with their recipes, change things up a little and throw in their favourite ingredients into it. The Southside Fizz is very much what would happen if a classic Mojito combined with a Tom Collins. If you love your Gin and want to change up your Mojito, this is a great direction to head in.
This cocktail has all the refreshing minty appeal that everyone loves about a Mojito , but with the added flavours and tones of Gin. Of course, this changes slightly with what type of Gin you choose to use. Gins with more Botanicals like Juniper will make this drink more fragrant and flavourful, so feel free to experiment and try out new brands to make the most of it.
The light but flavourful nature of this drink makes it a perfect sipper and a great choice to have wherever you are. Drinks like these are so simple but so satisfying, we highly recommend you try this out.
