The boozy Brandy Alexander is a decadent and delicious wintry cocktail.
If you like a Mudslide or aWhite Russian, you’ll love a Brandy Alexander!
The author called it the Alexander Cocktail No.

What Is Creme de Cacao?
Creme de cacao is a chocolate liqueur.

It comes in both dark (brown) and light (clear) varieties.
I used a light creme de cacao to make this drink.
Giffard and Marie Brizard both make very nice versions.
If you have the choice, it’s worth it to spend a little extra on a higher-quality liqueur.
It’s produced by distilling wine.
I used Korbel,which is a California brandy.
E & J is also a good choice.
My personal favorite is 1 1/2 ounces of brandy paired with 1 ounce of each of the other ingredients.
Add ice, shake for about 30 seconds, and then strain into a cocktail glass.
Grate fresh nutmeg over the top and enjoy.
