Answer :

Final answer:

Southern Comfort is a proprietary blend of fruit, spice, and whiskey flavored liqueur, and its exact ingredients are not typically disclosed by the manufacturer, hence none of the options is correct.

Explanation:

The drink known as Southern Comfort is neither scotch whisky blended with herbs and honey nor rum with coffee, sugar, vanilla, or coconut. The actual contents of the commercially sold Southern Comfort, which is a liqueur, have been a proprietary blend since its creation by M.W. Heron in 1874.

The traditional Southern Comfort is a fruit, spice, and whiskey flavored liqueur, originating from New Orleans. Its ingredients are not typically disclosed in detail, but it's known to include a base of spirits with fruit and spice accents. None of the options listed (Southern Comfort with sour Myers and greeniade or sweet Myers with light or dark rum and grenadine) accurately describe the ingredients in Southern Comfort.

Instead, these options describe potential mixed drinks that could be made using Southern Comfort as one of the ingredients.
