Southern Comfort

I finally opened my bottle of Southern Comfort. Interesting facts, thanks to Wiki
Southern Comfort is a fruit, spice, and whiskey flavored liqueur produced since 1874. It is made from a blend of whiskey, peach, orange, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon flavors. The Brown-Forman Corporation owns the Southern Comfort brand.
Southern Comfort is available as 100 US proof (50% alcohol by volume), 76 US proof (38% alcohol by volume), 70 US proof (35% alcohol by volume) and 42 US proof (21% alcohol by volume). In Australia and New Zealand, it is only available as 60 proof. It is often erroneously thought to be bourbon whiskey based—it is actually neutral grain spirits-based,[1] and the brown look comes from caramel coloring.[2] Southern Comfort Reserve, however, is a blend of Southern Comfort and 6-year-old bourbon and is 80 proof.
And then I found an even more interesting link from http://www.southerncomfort.com/ (go to the Ready, Set, Go out, Drinks and not only can u find some interesting cocktail concoctions but u can even download the recipe book! Did u know for instance that you can have SC and coffee? I inadvertently added lime juice to mine and was surprised to see that it is actually one of the cocktails listed!

To the spirit of New Orleans!
