SOUTHERN STAR Back in 1874, New Orleans bartender Martin Wilkes Heron believed whiskey should be enjoyed not endured, so he took the harsh whiskeys of the time and mixed them with his own blend of fruits and spices. The result was Southern Comfort, the spirit of New Orleans, and it tastes as smooth as it pours. For a simple summer serve, pour 50ml Southern Comfort into a Mason jar over ice, squeeze in two wedges of lime and top with lemonade. Even easier, open this can that’s ready to drink. Southern Comfort, £20/70cl; Southern Comfort @SouthernComfortUK Lemonade and Lime, £1.60/250ml
GOLDEN AGE Its name comes from the Gaelic, ‘an dram buidheach’, meaning ‘the drink that satisfies’. Drambuie has a fullbodied taste, the result of infusing a blend of aged Scotch whisky with a secret mix of heather honey, spices and herbs. When poured, aromas of malt whisky and rich honey combine with floral and herbal overtones. For a contemporary twist, try it in a Drambuie Collins: drop two lemon wedges into a tall glass, add 50ml Drambuie, top with t ice and soda, and garnish with mint. Drambuie, drambuie.com £20***/70cl
