Southern Comfort.

Postby emptyglass » Sun Jun 09, 2013 10:21 am

Nice recipie, made me re-think how good or bad this drink can be. All you need are the ingredients and some not-so-good bourbon thats too raspy to drink. I've been making this for a while and it seems to come up better than the store bought version. Its not my recipie, it originaly came from HD.

o For 1 litre of bourbon whiskey you could experiment by macerating for 10 days and then straining:
o 1-2g cinnamon
o 3 strips of orange peel
o 1 strip of lemon peel
o 1-3 halved peaches
o 1/2 cup sugar
o caramel coloring."

Peaches are important. Quantitys are not, you can vary them to taste.
I substitute lemon for lime and use zest, seems nice. If you use tails, let it macerate for longer, it does a passable job of cleaning them up. I also used glucose syrup insted of sugar, let it sit on oak insted of caramel.
I also back off on the sweetners, just my taste. The ladies seem to like it sweeter.

Thanks,just had my first taste of this,and it kicks SC into the bayou.
I tweaked it slightly,but has to be the best liquor I have made.
Peaches back on the shopping list!

Recipes for SC vary greatly. So long as you have peaches in there, you can really add anything you like.

Here are a few more variations.
