Ingredients

1.5 oz vodka
1.5 oz Southern Comfort
1.5 oz blue curaçao
1.5 oz cranberry juice
Ice cubes
Kiwi wheel (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Fill a shaker with ice
Add a generous amount of ice to a cocktail shaker to ensure the drink is properly chilled and diluted.

Step 2: Add spirits and mixers
Pour 1.5 oz vodka, 1.5 oz Southern Comfort, 1.5 oz blue curaçao, and 1.5 oz cranberry juice into the shaker.

Step 3: Shake well
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is ice-cold and slightly frothy.

Step 4: Strain into glass
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini or coupe glass for a sleek presentation, or pour over fresh ice in a highball glass for a casual, retro look.

Step 5: Garnish and serve
Garnish with a fresh kiwi wheel on the rim or floating inside the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy the blast from the past.

Notes

Southern Comfort adds smooth, fruity warmth—don’t skip it unless substituting with another flavored whiskey
The combo of cranberry and blue curaçao creates a purplish-teal hue when mixed—perfect for that nostalgic aesthetic
Shake well to blend the bold spirits evenly; this isn’t a sip-and-stir cocktail
If your cranberry juice is sweetened, reduce slightly or balance with a splash of lime
Chill your glass ahead of time to keep the cocktail colder longer
