35

A drink popular in the western US. It refers to a roughly an equal mix of a dry or complex red wine (a cab, for example) and Southern Comfort. The name originates from the exact alcohol content the bartender should achieve for this drink, since over 35% often tastes too sweet, while under 35% tastes like expensive wine. Some people liken a properly mixed 35 to a grape Jollie Rancher, while others say it is more like prune juice. Either way, it is much better than it sounds.
