Cook's notes
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for a brighter, more complex flavor profile.
- Chill your glassware in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand to keep the drink colder for longer.
- Shake with large ice cubes to ensure the drink is properly chilled without becoming overly diluted.
- For a fancy presentation, garnish with a fresh orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
Easy swaps
- If you cannot find sloe gin, a mixture of plum liqueur and a splash of gin is a great alternative.
- For a non-alcoholic version, swap the spirits for alcohol-free botanical spirits and peach nectar.
- Adjust the ratio of amaretto to Southern Comfort-style liqueur based on your preference for almond or fruit-forward notes.
