Kitschy Drink Recipes

Alabama Slammer

The Alabama Slammer has been around since the 70s, and there are a few minor variations on it. The most common version blends Southern Comfort with amaretto, sloe gin and orange juice.

Royal Scandal

The Royal Scandal is equal parts Crown Royal, Southern Comfort and amaretto with splashes of sour mix (or lemon juice, if you prefer) and pineapple juice.

Angel Highball

The Angel Highball is one of those drinks that proves a cocktail doesn’t need to be complicated. It’s just Southern Comfort with orange soda – simple as anything, and all about the taste.

Purple Helmeted Warrior

The Purple Helmeted Warrior cocktail features the flavors of orange, peach, lime, lemon and berry. It’s purple and bubbly, hence the name, but probably should not be worn as a helmet. This is a tasty little fruity drink with a nice visual effect from dropping the grenadine down the middle at the very end –

Absolute HB

The Absolute HB blends two white liquors with dry vermouth, a touch of Southern Comfort and a little bit of 7-up. The flavor is a full round citrus with some herbal notes and the peach finish. This is a pretty stiff drink, which makes it interesting as an alternative to any sort of martini. It’s

Hawaiian Redneck

The Hawaiian Redneck is one of those cocktails that’s stronger than it tastes. The flavor is pretty fruity, due to six ounces of pineapple juice. But with two ounces of rum and two more of Southern Comfort, there’s plenty of kick to this drink. The dominant flavor is a sweet but very agreeable blend of

Comfortable Sour

The Comfortable Sour turns Southern Comfort peach liqueur into a sour by adding lemon juice, orange juice and a touch of gomme syrup to keep the tartness just right. This drink is great to relax with. It’s mellow – not too sweet, nor too tart. It’s light and easy to take – not bursting with

The Red Death is a sweet cocktail that blends a number of fruity flavors together: berry, orange, pineapple, peach and blackberry. The result is pretty delicious. This is a great drink to savor and enjoy. Try one the next time you’ve got time to sit a while and sip along. It’s great for unwinding. Recipe

Southern Chase

The Southern Chase is a shot that blends equal parts Galliano, Southern Comfort and Jim Beam to create a taste that’s rather unique. The mellow peach undertones of the Southern Comfort and the sharper licorice-like taste of the Galliano smooth out the Jim… or is it the other way around? This drink may be an

Southern Pink Flamingo

The Southern Pink Flamingo is a tiny little shot that somehow manages to have five ingredients. If you like things that are small and complicated, this one is right up your alley. All kidding aside, this is a delicious little drink. The main flavor is fruit – sweet and tart – but with a background

Southern Comfort

21 Southern Bourbon Cocktails

Show off a classic Southern staple at your next party with these satisfying bourbon cocktails.

If we had to pick a house beverage for the South, it would likely be a bourbon cocktail. This Kentucky-born spirit is a Southern signature that has made a huge resurgence in the past decade. Now, the old-fashioned is getting new-fashioned makeovers in bars across the South, and there are entire menus devoted to bourbon cocktails. What’s the best way to drink bourbon? We like it on the rocks or straight up, but we also love these bourbon cocktail recipes. From classic tailgate sippers like bourbon sweet tea and bourbon-spiked Arnold Palmer recipes to refined Mint Juleps for Derby Day or even a New Orleans-style Sazerac, we aren’t ashamed to say we might be experts when it comes to bourbon drinks. So get out your highball glasses and your shaker. These bourbon cocktails are perfect for quiet nights on the porch or fancy dinner parties.

Cranberry Old Fashioned Cocktail

When the crowd breaks for halftime, impress your guests by bringing out a round of Old Fashioneds, garnished with fruit and made with a secret ingredient: whole-berry cranberry sauce. These cocktails are best served immediately, so recruit a fellow barkeep for muddling assistance.

Frozen Peach Old Fashioned

Served ice cold, these refreshing cocktails keep your guests cool.

Tailgate Sipper

While this sipper makes for the perfect tailgate cocktail, we have a feeling you'll be mixing up this delicious combination when the season is over too.

Apple Pie-Bourbon Sweet Tea

Bourbon and apple are perfect teammates in this thoroughly Southern concoction.

Fig-and-Bourbon Fizz

Choose Black Mission figs or another purple-skinned variety to give the drink a pretty tint.

Julian's Old Fashioned

For the Kentucky Bourbon afficionados in your bunch, make Julian's Old Fashioned the go-to cocktail for your next gathering.

Derby Julep

Its namesake may be the fastest two minutes in sports, but that doesn't mean this cocktail should be short-lived. Consider our derby julep a cocktail hour mainstay all year long.

Mississippi Bourbon Punch

Muscadine wine stars in this spirited concoction of grenadine, bourbon, and a variety of fruit juices and sodas.

Pecan "Milk" Punch

Toasted pecans, cream of coconut, cinnamon, and sweetened whipped cream make it hard to tell if this bourbon concoction is a cocktail or dessert.
