Brandy Alexander

The Brandy Alexander is a Roaring Twenties favorite that still enjoys a sizeable fanbase today. It’s a great way to fancy up your next shindig! The traditional recipe calls for dark crème de cacao, but the light stuff works just as well.

Ingredients
- 1 part Cognac or Brandy
- 1 part Crème de cacao
- 1 parts Sweet cream
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a shaker, shake it until it’s quite cold, and strain into a cocktail glass (or any small, dainty glass or mug). Sprinkle a tiny dash of grated nutmeg on top, if you have it.
