2 Friday Night Cocktails


Scarlett O'Hara

This deliciousy crisp cocktail was created way back in 1939 to promote the legendary film Gone with the Wind.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

  • 50ml Southern Comfort

Method

This cocktail needs to be served deliciously chilled so fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour all the ingredients into the cocktail shaker and shake for three minutes until icy cold. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a small slice of lime. If you want to add that touch of glamour then replace the slice of lime with some of the lime's rind (get using a potato peeler) and twisting it.
