Cocktail Description

The Southern Sunrise Fizz delivers a glorious burst of citrus sunshine with a warm whiskey backbone that'll brighten even the cloudiest morning.

This easy-to-make highball blends the orange intensity of Giffard Triple Sec with Southern Comfort's distinctive peach and whiskey notes, creating a refreshing yet substantial cocktail. Fresh orange juice amplifies the citrus profile while ginger ale adds a zippy effervescence that makes each sip dance across your palate. Perfect for brunches or as a relaxing afternoon sipper, this cocktail strikes a beautiful balance between sweet fruit flavors and gentle spice. The Southern Sunrise Fizz requires minimal bartending skills—just shake, strain, and top with ginger ale—making it ideal for entertaining guests who appreciate a thoughtful drink without complicated preparation. It pairs wonderfully with savory breakfast dishes like eggs benedict, southern-style biscuits and gravy, or even spicy fried chicken and waffles when you're feeling indulgent.
