JUMP TO RECIPE

The Alabama Slammer is a 70s Southern creation, perfect for summer entertaining. Thought to have been invented at the University of Alabama as a shooter (hence the name ‘slammer’), it eventually evolved into the tall and fruity cocktail that we’ve come to love today.

QUICK TIPS

01

The Alabama Slammer cocktail is easy to pre-batch to serve a crowd.

02

For a more potent cocktail, build the drink in an ice-filled glass, stirring well before serving.
