What cocktail can I make with gin, mint, and lime?
Cocktail Colin says:
Given your preference for a cocktail that includes gin, mint, and lime, the **Southside** emerges as an excellent choice. This cocktail achieves a harmonious blend of dry gin, lime juice, simple syrup, and fresh mint leaves. Its crisp and invigorating flavor profile, reminiscent of a minty cousin to the Mojito but with none of the soda water, offers a refreshing herbal, sweet, and citrusy taste that's perfect for any occasion. Originating from the Prohibition era, the Southside has a touch of historical allure, making it an elegant classic cocktail often served in a cocktail glass.
If you’re looking for something a bit different but still incorporating gin, mint, and lime, the **Ginger Mojito** could also be intriguing. This variation on the traditional Mojito combines bright lime juice, mint, sugar syrup, and white rum but with the delightful addition of ginger beer and ginger pieces, offering a zesty and spicy twist. The classic botanical flavors of gin are replaced by rum, but the mint and lime elements remain prominent, guaranteeing a refreshing sip served in a highball glass.
Whether you opt for the Southside for its elegant simplicity and historical charm or the Ginger Mojito for its spicy zest, both are sure to delight with their refreshing and balanced flavors. Cheers!
