Cocktail Description
The Southern Riviera Collins is what happens when Kentucky bourbon meets French elegance on a tropical getaway.
This sophisticated highball marries the caramel warmth of Buffalo Trace bourbon with honeyed herbal notes from Bénédictine and the fruity complexity of Hennessy cognac. Fresh pineapple juice adds a succulent tropical sweetness while lemon provides the essential brightness that keeps each sip refreshing. Despite its impressive ingredient list, this cocktail is surprisingly approachable to make—simply shake, strain, and serve. It's perfect for summer evenings on the porch or as an elevated offering at gatherings where you want to impress without spending the entire time playing bartender. The Southern Riviera Collins pairs beautifully with Southern cuisine like pulled pork or shrimp and grits, though it's equally at home alongside spicy Asian dishes where its sweetness provides welcome relief.
