I wouldn't drink it straight. I'd mix it with Amaretto for a shot (Sicilain Kiss) or with Diet Coke or Ginger Ale for a drink.

History of Southern Comfort
Southern Comfort liqueur was invented in the heart of New Orleans' famous French Quarter in 1874 by a bartender named Martin Wilkes "M.W" Heron. Back then, whiskey was a popular drink, yet the quality was not always decent. Whiskey barrels would arrive in New Orleans from Tennessee and Kentucky down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and Heron sometimes didn't know it was even drinkable. So he began working on a recipe to create a whiskey-based drink with a consistent flavor.
As New Orleans was a thriving port city, Heron had an access to many fruits and some of the finest spices coming through the port such as Moroccan cinnamon and Mexican vanilla. He then began blending various fruits and spices together and finally perfected the recipe of Southern Comfort. The original blending recipe remains secret to this day.

Souther Comfort is great straight. Mixing it with any other liquor is merely a way of getting drunk quickly. SoCo (as it has been nicknamed) is made with fruit and spices (no caramel). Personally I find that the best way to mix SoCo is with 7up. Order it as a Southern & Seven.

Southern Comfort was created by a MIssouri bartender after infusing bourbon with peaches. The caramel in it just coloring to give a darker color.

amber color is what u get from carmelization of the whisky barrels. Try Crown Royal it is beautiful straight. But, do not drink in a shot glass. Drink it in a sipping glass on the rocks only. DONT MIX IT

I think it takes the colour from the barrels it is stored in
