Head to head
Eastside and South Side side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have gin, simple syrup and mint. Only the Eastside has lime juice and cucumber; only the South Side has lemon juice. In parts, an Eastside is 2 gin, 1 lime and ¾ syrup; a South Side is 4 gin, 2 lemon and 1 syrup. By volume, the Eastside is 53% spirit, 27% citrus and 20% syrup and sugar; the South Side is 57% spirit, 29% citrus and 14% syrup and sugar. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
They are about equally strong in the glass (13.4% and 13.6% ABV), and they hold about the same alcohol (1.35 standard drinks each). The Eastside has more calories (about 194 against 178) and more sugar (14.4 g against 10.0 g). Both are shaken and served in a coupe.
