SOUTHSIDE

Many unconfirmed reports of this cocktail's creation exist. Some believe it came from Chicago's South Side during Prohibition; others think that it comes from the Southside Sportsmen's Club on Long Island. Manhattan's 21 Club also claims it as its own creation. There, they serve it long in a Collins glass over ice with a mint spring for garnish.
