SOUTHERN DRIVER

southern driver cocktail

I was never a big fan of Southern Comfort until I was searching for new cocktails that used it and came across the Southern Driver.  It’s like an old fashioned with Southern Comfort to cut the whiskey a bit and add a bit of sweetness and mystery.  My preferred whiskey for this drink is Maker’s Mark, which I think makes a big difference!

Recipe

1/4 tsp sugar

3 dashes Angostura bitters

3 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

Slice of orange or other fruit to muddle

1.5 oz Southern Comfort

1.5 oz Bourbon

Muddle fruit with sugar and bitters.  Add Southern Comfort and Bourbon with ice and stir until mixed and chilled.  Kick up feet and enjoy the view!
