Had to adjust this for sweetness -

60ml Vodka
15ml Southern Comfort
30ml Lemon Juice
10ml 1/1 Sugar Syrup

Much improved, for my tastes at least

Used SoCo 100. I think it is the better one of all the available Southern Comforts. Very citrus forward with a slight dark fruit and cinnamon at the end from the SoCo.
PS: Southern Comfort 100 is sneaky strong.

Much better than I expected, but less than distinctive. Used Svedka vodka. Great if you just want a cheap buzz. (15 Nov 2022, 12:30p)
