How to Make a Scarlett O’Hara Cocktail
- Gather your ingredients. We recommend using cranberry cocktail rather than 100% cranberry juice, which is very tart with no sweetness. Whenever lime juice is requested in a cocktail recipe, freshly squeezed is best if available.
- Fill a glass with ice. Any glass tumbler will work.
- Pour in Southern Comfort and lime juice.
- Top with cranberry juice and stir.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy!
How to Make a Scarlett O'Hara party punch
To make this charming cocktail into a punch, simply multiply ingredients to maintain the ratio. Add 1 1/2 cups Southern Comfort, 1/2 cup of lime juice, and 1 1/2 cup cranberry juice to a pitcher with ice. Stir to combine and pour into glasses of ice to serve.
What is Southern Comfort
Southern Comfort is a whiskey liqueur with fruit and spice accents that was created by a bartender in the late 1800s. With whiskey as its base spirit, SoCo has flavors of apricot though some drinkers may note a peachy taste.
