Instructions

It sort of tastes like Sunny D. The combination does a nice job of hiding the fact that there are four shots in there, which is why it is called The Southpaw - it kind of sneaks up and hits you like a left handed hooker. Created by John Bee and Neil Yetsko in Altoona, PA.Pour Rum (Apple), Bourbon, and Vodka (Watermelon) into a shaker with a handful of ice, add Lemon Juice, Lime Juice, Orange Juice, and Sugar. Shake thoroughly, then strain into a frosted collins glass or Beer mug and enjoy!

About The Southpaw

The Southpaw is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that brings together a unique blend of flavors, perfect for those who enjoy a fruity and spirited drink. The cocktail combines the sweet and crisp notes of apple-flavored rum with the rich, warm undertones of bourbon whiskey. Adding a splash of watermelon vodka introduces a refreshing and summery twist. The citrus elements are further enhanced by the subtle tartness of lemon and lime juices, balanced perfectly with a touch of sugar to create a delightful harmony. The drink is rounded off with a generous serving of orange juice, which ties all the flavors together, making it a perfect choice for a sunny afternoon or a lively gathering.

The origins of The Southpaw cocktail are not widely documented, but it is believed to have emerged in the modern cocktail scene where mixologists experiment with unconventional combinations. The name "Southpaw" might be a nod to the unexpected combination of ingredients that pack a punch, much like a surprising left hook in boxing. This cocktail exemplifies the creativity and playful spirit of contemporary mixology, offering a delightful experience for those willing to explore beyond traditional cocktail recipes.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Collins Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
