The story

The story behind Southern Comfort

Martin Wilkes Heron mixed the first Southern Comfort in 1874 behind the bar at McCauley's Tavern in New Orleans. He called it Cuffs and Buttons, then changed the name. The recipe is whiskey cut with apricot, peach, citrus, vanilla, clove and cinnamon, which is why it drinks sweeter than bourbon and warmer than a plain cordial.

The base spirit has moved around. Brown-Forman ran it on neutral grain spirit for years, and Sazerac bought the brand in 2016 and put North American whiskey back underneath. It took Gold at the 1900 Paris Exposition, and Southern Comfort Black took Double Gold at San Francisco in 2021.

Good to know

Southern Comfort questions, answered

Is Southern Comfort a whiskey or a liqueur?
Southern Comfort is a whiskey liqueur, legally a cordial. It uses a North American whiskey base with sugar, stone fruit and spice added, so it is sweeter and lower in proof than straight bourbon.
Who invented Southern Comfort?
Irish-American bartender Martin Wilkes Heron created it in 1874 at McCauley's Tavern in New Orleans. He first called the drink Cuffs and Buttons before renaming it Southern Comfort.
What proof is Southern Comfort?
The main expressions are 70, 80 and 100 proof, which is 35, 40 and 50 percent alcohol by volume. Flavored releases like Lime, Pepper and Gingerbread Spice are built at 70 proof.
How do you drink Southern Comfort?
Serve it neat, over ice, or as a mixer with cola, ginger ale or iced tea. It also works in an Alabama Slammer and in a sweeter take on an old fashioned.
