With the weather warming up a touch today, I began to miss the Holidays. I thought I’d turn back the hands of time – if only for the duration of time it took me to finish this drink. I made a cocktail that is a mock version of the classic “Brandy Alexander.” The original recipe calls for Creme de Cacao but since I had run out, I used chocolate liqueur instead. Anyway, the cream and grated nutmeg in the drink reminded me of the holidays so I got what I was after. Here is how I made it. Cheers!
Brandy Alexander
2 oz Brandy
1 oz Chocolate Liqueur (I used Godiva)
1 oz Cream
Touch of Simple Syrup
Freshly Grated Nutmeg
Add all of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill halfway with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
Brandy Alexander.
