Alexander
The Alexander is a creamy, dessert-like cocktail with a rich chocolate and brandy flavor. A classic from the early 20th century, it blends cognac, crème de cacao, and fresh cream for a velvety smooth texture. The drink is shaken over ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass, often garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg. It is one of the most famous after-dinner drinks, perfect for those who enjoy indulgent, sweet cocktails. The balance of spirits and cream creates a luxurious mouthfeel while allowing the warmth of the cognac to shine through. Often seen as a variation of the Brandy Alexander, this cocktail has also inspired other creamy drinks. Its chocolate undertones make it a favorite among dessert cocktail lovers. A perfect choice for a nightcap or special occasion treat.
