#274 Cocktails: Southside Fizz

   A beautiful cocktail, taste wise. It's a little like the classic Mojito but with gin as the base alcohol. I can say that it works perfect and it's really refreshing
   From what I saw in the recipe, the soda water can be also replaced by the tonic water or add a little Angostura aromatic bitters enrich the taste. I didn't do it, for I wanted to stick to the classic recipe, but you can try

4 lemon wedges

5-6 fresh mint leaves

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 1/2 ounces gin

Soda water 

#273 Cocktail: Stiletto

       Adapted from a recipe by Al Romeo of Anthony's, Huston, Texas.
       The recipe is really interesting for it incorporates the lime in a bourbon cocktail. There are not so many cocktails out there where this combination is used.
       I can tell you that the whole recipe works really well and the drink is really delicious

2 ounces bourbon

1/2 ounce amaretto 

1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
