Oh My God Cocktail

The Oh My God cocktail is so named because that’s what one might tend to say after tasting it. It’s a pretty wonderful flavor, blending pineapple, Southern Comfort and sour apple together.

The mix of sweet and tart flavors is irresistible. So is the color, which is bright yellow with a hint of green.

The pineapple juice makes Oh My God a sweet drink, but it’s not like a cocktail that’s full of candy-flavored liqueurs. It’s good as a dessert drink, but not too sweet to accompany a meal. You can order this at a bar anytime you’re wanting something on the sweet side.

Tasting Notes

The initial burst of sour apple from the schnapps is quickly balanced by the smooth, velvety notes of Southern Comfort. The pineapple juice then swoops in, adding a refreshing and juicy sweetness that perfectly complements the other ingredients.

As you sip this cocktail, the flavors meld together, creating a single delicious note that will have you reaching for another glass.

Key Ingredients

To create this captivating cocktail, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Sour Apple Schnapps: This spirit adds a tart and fruity note to the cocktail, which is a counterpoint to the sweetness of the other ingredients.

Southern Comfort: This iconic liqueur brings a rich, velvety smoothness to the cocktail, with its distinctive blend of peach, spice, and citrus flavors.

Pineapple Juice: The tropical pineapple juice provides most of the sweetness for the drink. Normally we suggest fresh squeezed fruit juice, but that’s not always easy to get with pineapple. The bottled versions are great, as are cartons. Aim for the one with the fewest additives.

Food Pairings and Serving Suggestions

This drink works with a lot of snacks and heartier fare. Try it with spicy or grilled dishes like jerk-seasoned chicken or pork, grilled shrimp or fish, or spicy Thai or Caribbean-inspired dishes.

When it comes to serving the Oh My God Cocktail, the collins glass is best because it highlights the vibrant colors of the drink. And fill it with plenty of ice to keep the cocktail chilled and refreshing.

The standard garnish is a slice of fresh pineapple or a maraschino cherry. You could also add a cocktail umbrella.
