Southern Marnier Cocktail

My current favorite cocktail is something I came up with. I call it the Southern Marnier.

Sweet orange, vanilla, and spice from the Southern Comfort balance nicely with the bourbon, making for a surprisingly smooth sipping cocktail.

Note: This is a strong cocktail; sip it slowly.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz Grand Marnier
• 1 oz Southern Comfort 100
• 1 oz bourbon (I prefer Wild Turkey 101)

Instructions:

1. Fill a rocks glass with ice.
2. Pour in 1 ounce each of Grande Marnier, Southern Comfort, and bourbon.
3. Stir gently for about 15 seconds.
4. Enjoy!

Substitutions:

• Grand Marnier → Cointreau
• Southern Comfort 100 → Southern Comfort Original
• Bourbon → any whiskey you enjoy

If you try it, I would love to hear what you think in the comments.
