1 hrsPicture this: a lazy porch afternoon, sunlight cutting through a pitcher of something golden, and a glass that tastes like summer squeezed over ice.
That’s Southern Sunshine. Orange juice and lemon juice get stirred with a touch of sugar, then topped off with fizzy lemon-lime soda and a generous pour of Southern Comfort. It’s citrus-forward, lightly sweet, and dangerously drinkable.
Mix the juices ahead of time and keep them chilled. When guests arrive, just add the soda and bourbon liqueur for instant party mode.
Chef Tips
- Chill everything beforehand so you don’t water it down with too much ice.
- Add the soda right before serving to keep the fizz lively.
- Float orange slices or maraschino cherries on top for a pop of color in the pitcher.
