This cocktail is an Employees Only variation of the famous South Side cocktail, first served in the 1920s at the New York speakeasy Jack & Charlie's--now known as the 21 Club. We replaced the gin with Meyer lemon-infused vodka to achieve a more balanced, subtler concoction. It is by far the most popular cocktail served at Employees Only and lends itself naturally to being enjoyed in the sun.
- 2 fl. oz. Charbay Meyer lemon vodka
- 1 fl. oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 fl. oz. simple syrup
- 3-finger pinch fresh mint leaves
- 1 splash club soda
Put the vodka, juice, syrup, and mint in a mixing glass. Add large cold ice cubes and shake vigorously. Open the shaker and add the club soda. Use a julep strainer to strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
