Ingredients
  

  • 2 Ounces Southern Comfort
  • 4 Sprigs Mint
  • 3/4 Ounce Lemon Juice
  • 1 Ounce Simple Syrup
  • Crushed Ice
  • Lemon Wheel Garnish.
  • 1 Sprig Mint Garnish

Method
 

  1. In a shaker, gently muddle mint with lemon juice and simple syrup. Don’t overdo it—the goal is to release the mint’s oils without turning it bitter.
  2. Pour in the Southern Comfort. Add ice and shake lightly. Strain into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice.
  3. Top with a lemon wheel and fresh mint sprig.

Notes

Southern Comfort introduces subtle stone fruit notes, and warm spices that pair beautifully with mint and lemon. The result is a cocktail that’s smooth, mellow, and effortlessly charming, just like its namesake. Its laid-back character makes it ideal for porch gatherings, garden parties, or unwinding after a long day.
