Comfort Cocktails


It's been too long since Cafe Drake sprang some cocktail recipes on ya'll, so here goes a few based on that nostalgic classic - Southern Comfort. If nostalgia for this particular liquor conjures up memories of high school party sickness on darkened lawns, substitute bourbon for now, but be aware you're gonna have to face and conquer those demons eventually.


Scarlett O' Hara

A favorite of Cafe Drake's Mother, we mixed many before we actually could drink them.

Place 2 jiggers of Southern Comfort and 1 of cranberry juice into a cocktail shaker. Add plenty of ice and the juice of half a lime. Shake well and strain into chilled martini or cocktail glass.



The Alamo
Rather dry considering the use of Southern Comfort, and best alongside a simple snack such as salted peanuts or cocktail sausages.

Pack a tall thin glass with chipped ice and pour in 2 jiggers of Southern Comfort. Fill to top with grapefruit juice.



The Comfort of Bourbon

Our 1 jigger each of bourbon and Southern Comfort over crushed ice in a small highball glass. Add a spritz of lemon juice and serve with a twist of the peel.
