You all know and love Baltimore's Southside cocktail, but did you know its history?

It hails from a time when liquor was illegal (and tasted horrible, too). During prohibition, notorious gangsters in Chicago and elsewhere covered up the taste of bathtub gin with lemon and mint to create a delicious, refreshing cocktail that's been the secret recipe of countless families and bartenders since.

The folks at Southside Holdings, decided to bring back the original recipe (albeit with a much more palatable gin) and make it more available around the country.

Freshly squeezed with premium gin and all-natural, organic ingredients, you can indulge in this cocktail anytime - available in convenient four-pack cans. 2 servings per can, organic, gluten-free, 10%ABV - 123 calorie and 11 grams of sugar per serving.

Stop in Grauls Wine & Spirits today and make your own comparison!
