The South Side Royal elevates the gin-and-mint simplicity of its Prohibition-era ancestor with a champagne finish. Fresh mint and lemon create a bright, herbaceous foundation against the botanicals of dry gin, while the sparkling wine adds lift and a subtle toasty complexity. The result is crisp and refreshing, with effervescence that carries the mint aromatics upward from the first sip to the last.
