How to remember it
Alabama is the South, so Southern Comfort leads, and sloe gin paints it Crimson Tide red. The sweet nutty note is amaretto.
Drink family: International Sour · Spirit + citrus + a liqueur as the sweetener
The liqueur is what makes it sweet, so the liqueur is what gives each one its name.
