About The Alabama Slammer Cocktail. The Alabama Slammer might just be the most ’70s of the bright and fruity 1970s cocktails. Its base blend of amaretto, sloe gin and SoCo stands in total defiance of what one would expect from a staunch Southern sipper. Yet the drink looms large below the Mason-Dixon line and beyond.
The ingredients are the same in both Alabama Slammers, though in this mixed drink there is substantially more orange juice. The Southern Comfort (popularly just called SoCo) adds an apricot-peachy flavor that mixes well with the amaretto and sloe gin. Admittedly, the Alabama Slammer is not as popular today as it was a few decades ago.

Many variations on the Alabama Slammer add an extra kick with either vodka or bourbon, or both. Some add a 1-ounce shot of one of those liquors while other recipes skip the amaretto and pour 1 ounce of both liquors, then knock the sloe gin back to 3/4 ounce.
