Southern Comfort Lime

Photos & recipes courtesy Southern Comfort

Southern Comfort is a distinctive liqueur made from whiskey that's been blended with fruit and spices. The original pairs so well with the tangy flavor of lime, that the makers have created a delicious new blend, Southern Comfort Lime.

Southern Comfort Lime is ready to be enjoyed on the rocks, with a splash of soda or mixed into a light and refreshing cocktail.

We got the notion to try it in a white sangria combined with a little peach brandy and some fresh fruit and were pretty pleased with the result.
