Ingredients

• 45ml Amberfire London Dry Gin

• 20ml fresh lime juice

• 15ml sugar syrup

• 8–10 fresh mint leaves

• Garnish: Mint sprig

Method

To begin this gin Southside cocktail recipe, gently clap the mint leaves in your hands to release their aromatic oils — this simple step brings the cocktail to life. Add the mint, Amberfire London Dry Gin, lime juice, and sugar syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds. Fine strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass to remove mint particles, leaving a smooth, vibrant finish. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig to enhance the herbal notes.
