Cocktail

1 oz gin1 oz Southern Comfort (or peach/whiskey liqueur)1 oz amaretto liqueur (e.g., Disaronno)2 oz orange juice, fresh or good-quality bottled1 cup ice

Garnish (optional)

1 piece orange wheel or slice1 piece maraschino cherry

Method

Cocktail

Build and chill

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup). Pour in 1 oz gin, 1 oz Southern Comfort, and 1 oz amaretto.

Add mixer

Add 2 oz fresh orange juice to the shaker. This preserves a balanced 1:1:1:2 ratio (spirits:OJ) typical for an Alabama Slammer.

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted. This chills and slightly dilutes the drink for better balance.

Strain and serve

Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh ice (or use the ice already in the glass). Strain the shaken cocktail into the glass.

Garnish (optional)

Garnish with an orange wheel on the rim and drop a maraschino cherry into the drink. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
