The Westside takes the cucumber-mint freshness of an Eastside and pushes it into briny territory. That pickle brine ice cube slowly dilutes into the drink, adding a savory backbone that transforms a garden-bright gin cocktail into something more complex and appetizing. The result is crisp and herbaceous up front, with a tangy, almost dirty finish that keeps you reaching for another sip.
