What is Brandy Alexander?

The Brandy Alexander is a variation on the Alexander cocktail, swapping gin for cognac (Brandy), adding a richer, more fruity aroma and barrel-aged notes, adding depth to the drink. It's a blend of cocoa liqueur (dark cocoa liqueur) and fresh cream, resulting in a smooth, rich drink after a shake, perfect for a sweet after-dinner treat or a light sip.

Main ingredients and proportions

• Cognac (Brandy): 30ml

• Dark cocoa liqueur (Crème de cacao): 30ml

• Fresh cream: 30ml

• Decoration: Sprinkle a layer of nutmeg powder or chocolate powder on top to enhance the aroma🌰🍫

Preparation method

1. Add cognac, cocoa and fresh cream into shaker

2. Add ice cubes and shake for about 10-15 seconds until well mixed and slightly bubbly

3. Strain the wine into a chilled martini or cocktail glass.

4. Finally, sprinkle a little nutmeg powder or chocolate powder for decoration to make the taste more layered.

Editor's Notes

The Brandy Alexander is a perfect wine for dessert lovers. Its smooth, delicate body is like a hard-boiled chocolate milkshake, sweet yet tangy without being overpowering. Using a brandy base, it's rounder and more mellow than the gin version, with hints of fruit and wood, adding a mature and flavorful touch. It's especially delicious in winter, warming both the heart and the stomach.

The smooth texture of fresh cream is the soul of this drink. If shaken vigorously enough, it will create a light foam, making the drink richer and more layered. I highly recommend adding nutmeg; the subtle sweetness with a hint of spice is the perfect finishing touch to this drink! 😍

This wine isn't too strong, with just the right amount of punch. It's perfect for after-dinner drinks or as a sweet treat on a date. I'd call it a "liquid dessert." It's easy to make if you have the ingredients at home, so if you want to try a high-quality sweet wine, shake one up now! 🎉

The Brandy Alexander is not only popular for its taste, but also has a long history behind it. There are also many variations of the Alexander, each with its own characteristics, but the brandy version is definitely a classic and respectable choice.
