Description:

Southern Comfort (often abbreviated SoCo) is an American fruit-flavored liqueur with fruit and spice accents. The brand was originally created by bartender Martin Wilkes Heron in New Orleans in 1874, and originally used whiskey as the base spirit.

Most drinkers describe Southern Comfort as tasting "apricoty," but it probably also includes oranges, cherries, vanilla, cinnamon and other spices that would have been available to Heron in New Orleans at the time.
