“Well, the south side of Chicago,
Is the baddest part of town,
And if you go there you better just beware
of the cocktail: Leroy Brown.”

This is a fun take on the classic prohibition-era Southside cocktail, popular in the early part of the 20th century in south Chicago. The Southside is made with gin, but here we substitute a nice rye whiskey to create a rich and tart cocktail that will have you echoing Jim Croce in singing about this bad, bad cocktail. Enjoy!
