Alex : アレックス

<22%alc.
>4oz.

Brandy Alexander cocktail,
creamy, sweet and unctous, some people says that it was made for some various celebrity like A. Woollcott, Alexander II of Russia, Alexandra of Denmark (Queen Consort to Edward VII), etc…
It uses originally uses cream and crêmes, as Grasshopper cocktail, therefore requiring longer hard shake.

My twist does not change much from the original recipe : way to thick, I use less cream.
Perfect as a  digestif or a dessert, you can make different variations by adding or substituting chocolate and coffee taste to nutmeg, chestnut, nuts, dates etc…
Excellent for winter, I like using my Alex recipe instead of my eggnog one. Much simpler to make and lighter !
