Its origins are subject to speculation. It has been proposed that it gets its name from either the South Side district of the city of Chicago, Illinois or from the Southside Sportsmen's Club on Long Island. The drink may have been the preferred beverage of Al Capone, whose gang dominated Chicago's South Side.
