Alabama Slammer Cocktail Recipe
This Alabama Slammer cocktail is a fruity drink from the 1970s made with amaretto, sloe gin, Southern Comfort, and orange juice. You can serve it in a tall glass over ice or pour it into shot glasses for a quick party drink.
Equipment
- Highball or Collins glass
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger
Ingredients
- 1 oz amaretto
- 1 oz sloe gin
- 1 oz Southern Comfort
- 2 oz orange juice
- Orange slice or wedge for garnish optional
- Maraschino cherries for garnish optional
Instructions
- Pour: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add the amaretto, sloe gin, Southern Comfort, and orange juice.
- Shake: Put the lid on tightly, then shake for about 15 seconds, or until the shaker feels cold.
- Fill: Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh ice.
- Strain: Strain the drink over the fresh ice.
- Garnish: Add an orange slice or wedge and a few maraschino cherries.
Notes
- Freshly squeezed orange juice gives this drink the best flavor, but store-bought orange juice works well too.
- This cocktail is sweet and stronger than it tastes. Add a little more orange juice if you want a lighter drink.
- No cocktail shaker? A mason jar with a tight-fitting lid works in a pinch.
- Serve your Alabama Slammer over ice in a tall glass, or strain it into shot glasses for a party-style version.
- To make more servings, double or triple the ingredients. Mix everything in a pitcher, chill it, and pour over ice right before serving.
