Well Southern Comfort may use whiskey as a base, but it really is not a
thing like whiskey - it is sweet, warming, and delightfully orangey! Makes
some delicious cocktails it does, including my favourite for long, cold,
refreshing summer drinks, which is a double SC, single extra dry vermouth,
over ice in a tall glass, then topped up with (sparkling) lemonade (I'll
drink it and enjoy it with almost any fizzy lemonade, but it is MUCH better
with the stuff made from real lemons, and without artificial flavours or
sweeteners). So delicious and very, VERY easy drinking - goes down like it's
just a soda, glass after glass, and you forget what you're drinking until
you start to get wobbly, heheheh...
