Brandy Alexander

Although I understand why the Brandy Alexander is more popular than the original Alexander -- it's smoother, sweeter, and less complicated -- I don't know that I like it more. Don't get me wrong, I love brandy like Liz Lemon loves sandwiches, but this drink was a little bit easy. Not to say that I wouldn't have another because I most certainly would. It may even make my top ten list when I reach the halfway point, I'm just saying that the original Alexander might be a spot or two higher. It's creamy and delicious could probably get you into trouble.

1 ounce brandy

1 ounce créme de cacao

1 ounce cream (or soymilk)

-Shake with cracked ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

Enjoy and bottoms up!
