Brandy Alexander - A Special Drinks


There’s something special about recipes that have stood the test of
time, let alone Prohibition. Well, here’s another vintage offering for
you, this time of the dessert variety. For some reason, the Brandy
Alexander never receives the love that it truly deserves. Now, I was inspired to dust off the old bottle of crème de cacao and get to work. And trust me . . . I’m so
happy that I did. This cocktail is delicately sweet and creamy, beyond
simple, and instantly my new nightcap for the upcoming holiday season.

This is a very simple cocktail, and the
quality of the ingredients you choose will be noticeable. If possible,
try using a nice cognac over a bottom-shelf brandy. Also, if you prefer
an even sweeter, creamier drink, try using cream instead of half and
half.
