   Southern Comfort - If you want it mixed, should you drink it with coke or lemonade?
   
   I prefer coke, but always get asked "Don't you mean lemonade". And incidentally is it seen as male, female or unisex drink?! Cheers!

   I know people who drink it with coke, and others w/lemonade, usually red lemonade though (apparently red lemonade isn't popular outside of Ireland, who knows!).
   
   On it's own it's a unisex drink, but depending on what it's mixed with it can have stronger female connotations, such as if it's mixed with Spritzer, or West Coast Cooler (practically the same thing, I know). Being a whiskey based fruit and spice liqueur gives it appeal across genders I think.

   That was the drink Janis Joplin loved (straight up) but I don't know how anyone could drink it. For me anything that needs to be mixed must taste like crap to begin with!

   I used to be sharper in mixing drinks but  isnt Southern comfort and orange juice = Kamikaze?
   Southern comfort and Grapefruit juice-Sloe Joe?

   The only thing I would mix it with would be cranberry juice. Thinking of coke and Southern Comfort makes me sick to my stomach   I prefer it straight up with ice. I have to say, I first tried it because Janis drank it. I'm female by the way.
   
   I love the sweet taste of it.

   Personally, I don't think Southern Comfort and lemonade sounds very good, but the idea of mixing it with Coke sounds even worse. I don't usually drink Southern Comfort any more, but I'd probably mix is with good old club soda. It still tastes like Southern Comfort, but without being so sticky-sweet and syrupy. Like Uninvited Writer, I first started drinking it because of Janis - it seemed like such a rebellious sort of drink.
   
   The idea of 'male' or 'female' drinks to me is simply silly. Drinks don't have gender - it you like it, drink it and be done with it.
