A legendary night with friends in New Orleans. The excitement & vibrancy of New Orleans is what attracted bartender Martin Wilkes Heron. In 1874, he decided that the home of Mardi Gras deserved a smoother alternative to the harsh whiskies from Kentucky & Tennessee. By adding a secret blend of fruits & spices, he struck upon the perfect combination
- Southern Comfort. Later, in 1900, Southern Comfort picked up a Gold Medal for quality & taste at the Paris World Exposition. Another followed four years later at the St Louis World Fair. Today, New Orleans wouldn't be the same without Southern Comfort. Best enjoyed with lime & lemonade, its distinctive taste is shared by friends on great nights. No wonder Southern Comfort's the drink at the heart of Mardi Gras
- the best party in the world.
