Squeeze 1 orange and reserve the juice. You can strain it now or later when mixed with the rest of the ingredients.
In a cocktail shaker, add the liquors, the orange juice, and a couple of big ice cubes and close tightly. Shake well to combine.
Fill a Collins glass up to 3/4 with ice, and then pour the mixture through a cocktail strainer. For a perfectly smooth texture and to avoid any fruit residue, double strain the mixture with a fine-mesh strainer.
Prep a cocktail pick with one orange wedge and a maraschino cherry. Sit the garnish on the side of the glass. Add a couple of straws and enjoy!

Depending on how tall your glass is, you might need to add more orange juice to top it up.
To make as punch for large gatherings:
- Measure the proportions to be 1 part Southern Comfort, 1 part Sloe gin (or vodka), 1 part Amaretto and 2 parts orange juice.
- The punch can be made in advance. Just add the ice right before serving and garnish punch bowl with orange wheels.
