South Side Cocktail was created by Southside Sportsmen's Club on Long Island. It consists of gin (with sugar) and citrus. The creator of this cocktail is unknown, but it is widely considered one of the top gin-based cocktails on the East Coast. Aside from the aforementioned concoction, you'll also find some variations of this classic cocktail at various craft cocktail bars. The South Side Cocktail, despite its name suggesting it's a fancy drink that has to be mixed before being served, is actually a classic cocktail you can make at home. The South Side Cocktail is a fun cocktail, with some merit, but not for everyone. Some customers might prefer to alter this tried-and-true recipe.
It may be more difficult to find the perfect gin for your favorite cocktail. It's even harder to find the right bartender to make your South Side cocktail. Do your research before you make that gin-centric choice. The same goes for the ingredients. You'll also want to make sure that you're not drinking the cocktail too quickly. The cocktail should be enjoyed as a relaxing, after-work drink and not as a cure for a hangover. Remember to wash your hands when you leave the bar.

How To
How To Make The Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. This drink will use Cognac, a French distilled spirit made of fermented grapes. It is clear in most cases, but it can sometimes be aged in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Let sit overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. After shaking vigorously for 10 secs, strain the mixture into a chilled martini. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
