Introduction
The Bitch Slap Cocktail is not for the faint of heart. It’s a fierce, in-your-face blend of fruity, sweet, and sour flavors with a potent kick.
Popular at parties and among those who like their drinks loud and unapologetic, this cocktail brings both heat and humor to the table.

Ingredients
1 oz vodka
1 oz Southern Comfort (or whiskey for a bolder edge)
1 oz amaretto
1 oz triple sec
1 oz cranberry juice
1 oz pineapple juice
Splash of lemon juice or sour mix
Ice
Maraschino cherry and/or orange slice (optional garnish)
Instructions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Pour in the vodka, Southern Comfort, amaretto, triple sec, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and lemon juice.
Shake well until chilled (about 15–20 seconds).
Strain into a chilled highball or hurricane glass filled with fresh ice.
Garnish with a cherry or orange slice if desired.
Serve with a warning — it will sneak up on you!
Description
This cocktail combines the deep, nutty notes of amaretto with the smooth burn of vodka and Southern Comfort. Bright citrus and tropical juices keep it refreshingly balanced. Despite its playful name, it’s a seriously strong drink — one that lives up to its name after just a few sips.
Tips
For an even stronger version, use overproof rum instead of vodka.
Chill the glass beforehand for a more refreshing experience.
Don’t overdo the lemon juice or sour mix — you want a touch of tang, not full-on pucker.
Make a batch for parties: multiply the ingredients and serve it punch-style.
Variations
Berry Slap: Replace cranberry juice with raspberry or black cherry juice.
Tropical Slap: Swap amaretto for coconut rum and add a splash of mango juice.
Spicy Slap: Add a thin slice of jalapeño in the shaker for a kick of heat.
Frozen Bitch Slap: Blend all ingredients with ice until slushy.
Correction (if needed)
Some recipes call for grenadine instead of cranberry juice — that’s a much sweeter version. If you prefer something less syrupy, cranberry juice is the better pick. You can also tweak the strength by reducing the number of liqueurs used or using flavored vodkas.
Enjoy
Sip responsibly, laugh loudly, and let the Bitch Slap Cocktail be your go-to for a wild night in or out. It’s bold, fruity, a little dangerous — and a whole lot of fun.
