    🥃 What is a Southern Hospitality Shot?

    A Southern hospitality shot is a combination of Southern comfort, lime juice, peach schnapps and simple syrup. It is a light and fruity drink that has a strong peach flavor with a slight hint of citrus.

    The name of this drink is in part due to the fact that Southern comfort is used. That in addition to the peach schnapps (after all, what’s more said than peaches) makes for the name of the drink.

    And, if you still need some convincing to try this one out, here are all the reasons why you’re sure to love it:

    • Fast and easy. You only need four simple ingredients for this week. No elaborate layering or glass rimming needed. Simply shake them up and you’re good to go.
    • Refreshing and fruity. This lightly refreshing drink has a touch of sweetness as well. It is full of fruit flavor that is delicious.
    • Customizable. You can turn this shot into a cocktail. Also, you can add a couple different ingredients to create some different flavor variations to suit your flavor preferences.

    ⭐ When to Make This Drink

    This easy to make light and fruity shop is perfect for serving at a wide variety of events including:

    • Summer get togethers
    • Barbecues
    • Spring events
    • Casual parties

    📖 Variations

    If you’re looking to experiment with a few effortless ingredient substitutions and enticing flavor variations try a few of these ideas out:

    • Make it a full cocktail. Add a little ginger ale and/or orange juice to top the rocks glass off. You’ll need 2 to 3 ounces total.
    • Add other flavors. Some recipes for the drink call for a variety of different flavors including watermelon pucker and amaretto (Amaretto and Soco are common combinations, like in this sicilian kiss drink). You can really substitute in and out what your favorite liquor and liqueurs are.
