Alabama Slammer

By Leslie Blythe    

February 4, 2021

The Alabama Slammer is a cocktail that gained popularity in the ‘70s made with vodka, Southern Comfort, sloe gin, and orange juice, served in a Collins glass. This harkens back to a time when strong, sweet drinks were all the rage (the infamous Long Island Iced Tea is another ‘70s sledgehammer of a drink). Back in the day, it seemed like boisterous bars catering to a younger crowd (Carlos-n-Charlie’s, I am looking at you….) churned these out by the gallon.  If you are feeling like having a retro, fruity drink with a real kick, the Alabama Slammer is the perfect choice.
