The Buttery So-Co is a delightful cocktail that combines the rich, smooth flavors of Southern Comfort Peach and Butterscotch Schnapps, topped with the classic fizz of Coca-Cola. This drink is a sweet, slightly fruity concoction with a buttery undertone, thanks to the butterscotch. The Southern Comfort Peach adds a hint of fruity warmth, while the cola provides a refreshing effervescence that balances the sweetness. It's a perfect choice for those who enjoy a dessert-like drink with a touch of Southern charm.
The history of the Buttery So-Co is somewhat obscure, as it is one of many modern cocktails that emerged from the creative experimentation popular in bars and at home. Southern Comfort, a whiskey-flavored liqueur, has a long history dating back to the late 19th century in New Orleans, often used to add depth and sweetness to cocktails. Butterscotch Schnapps, with its buttery, caramel notes, became popular in the late 20th century as a versatile ingredient in sweet cocktails. Together, these ingredients create a unique blend that reflects contemporary tastes for sweet, indulgent drinks. While the Buttery So-Co may not have a storied past, its flavor profile makes it a memorable addition to any cocktail menu.
