The Southside-A Classic Summer Cocktail


It's Friday in July and it finally feels like summer. No better time, in my opinion, to enjoy a cool, refreshing cocktail. My favorite summertime libation is a classic Southampton cocktail party staple-the Southside. A delightful combination of gin (or rum), citrus, sugar and fresh mint-it's a sweeter, fresher take on the mojito. Enjoyed by the country club set for ages, it's your turn to give it a try. Drink up!

The Southside
1/2 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 ounce simple sugar
ten fresh mint leaves
2 ounces gin or rum
seltzer

Muddle mint, lime juice and simple sugar until mint flavor has been released. Add gin to mint mix and top off with seltzer. Serves 1.

turn out a larger than life experience each and every season, some moments were truly unforgettable. At Louis Vuitton's menswear fall 2022 show earlier this month, Venus Williams hit up the event in a monogrammed zip-up Golden Goose windbreaker by the label. Sure, head-to-toe red, white, and blue can read as a little much. A square optical frame in black acetate, accented with our Vintage check. These frames and lenses are produced using bio-materials obtained from renewable sources such as cellulose. Bio-acetate is also biodegradable. Street style in Taipei has moved on from prints and color; as in Seoul, the head-to-toe monochromatic Alexander McQueen looks in neutrals dominated the scene. The fragrance captures the essence and anticipation of London at night-time. In shades inspired by Burberry fabrics, the retractable pen with exceptional colour payoff has a built-in sharpener. This season in Milan, street style stars came to play Travis Scott in highly electric looks made up of striking prints, ultra-cool color combinations, and Nike Off White practically every vibrant hue of the color wheel. Designed during the pandemic, this collection was crafted almost entirely in Italy; Nike Dunks the textiles Air Force 1 and artisanship Lorenzo encountered there made him consider what kind of pieces would be worthy of such skill. We have access to better fabrications, and construction, and the hand of everything felt so long lasting, he said. Additionally, Cohen redoubled his efforts around sustainability. An internal audit revealed that he was losing Off White tens of thousands of dollars on fabric that ended up on the cutting Amiri Shoes room floor that's tens of thousands of dollars per dress style. Now he's putting those materials to work on those party pants and a matching slip dress, as well as on contrast linings that elevate his tailoring and as fabric covered stone appliques on an evening dress.
