Southern Comfort Cocktail – It’s Time for a Southern Breeze

This Southern Comfort cocktail is called a Southern Breeze. It’s tart, sweet, and a great way to relax at the end of the day.

Southern Comfort, also known as SoCo, is a whiskey-based liqueur flavored with fruit and spices. It has a sweet finish that pairs well with the pomegranate and lychee juices in this recipe. 

This liqueur is one of my favorite spirits. I usually mix it with Diet Coke for a quick drink, but I also like to use it in Southern comfort cocktail recipes, like my Cuban Breeze, and this delightful Southern Breeze cocktail.
