Southern Comfort Liqueur

In the American South there's a liqueur whose exact recipe is known by only one person at a time. Southern Comfort blends whiskey with fruit and spice into a sweet, well-rounded style that has followed New Orleans' jazz clubs and cocktail culture since the 1800s. It's the South's answer to comfort food, just in liquid form.

   

About Southern Comfort Liqueur

Southern Comfort is an American liqueur based on whiskey, fruit and spices, created in the New Orleans tradition. For the newcomer it's a sweet, easy-drinking entry into American spirits, mild enough to enjoy on ice or in a simple cocktail; for the connoisseur, Southern Comfort's secret, unchanged recipe and its role in classic drinks like the Alabama Slammer and Scarlett O'Hara are part of its status as an American cultural icon.

History & Background

Southern Comfort was created in 1874 by bartender M.W. Heron in New Orleans, who wanted to smooth out the taste of the often rough whiskey of the day by adding fruit and spices. The recipe became an instant hit in the city's saloons and rode the growth of the jazz age through the early 1900s. Southern Comfort has since changed hands several times and today sits within the Sazerac group's portfolio, but the original idea of a sweeter, more approachable whiskey-based liqueur remains at its core.

Production & Style

The liqueur is made with a whiskey base, spiced with fruit and seasonings according to a recipe that remains a secret to this day.
