Southern Comfort, amaretto, orange juice, cranberry juice

I found this recipe in The PDT Cocktail Book. It is also available on diffordsguide.com.

The book I mentioned above is focused on cocktails from New Orleans. In the book, I learned that the things that most of us call “inspection stickers” on our vehicles are called “brake tags” in Louisiana. Ha, I’m sure there is a story there, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me right now.

I went into this one expecting it to be too sweet…something that is supposed to be a summer cooler but too sweet to actually be refreshing in any way. I was so confident that I would need to cut the sweetness that I made sure that I had cold club soda in the fridge. No need. It’s not too sweet! Really, this is delicious and refreshing.

And the fact that it is an equal-part cocktail makes it an easy pour. Just one ounce of each ingredient, shaken and poured over fresh ice.

I think this is the first cocktail that uses Southern Comfort that I’ve actually liked!
