This is legit one of my favorite little segments to write. I’m not a big drinker but I love how pretty some cocktails look, and it’s always fun to search the Interwebs looking for a pretty, seasonal one to share with you all.
This week’s selection – a perfectly wintery cocktail:
The Brandy Alexander.
I snagged this recipe (and photo) off of Liquor.com, so it’s gotta be good!
Ingredients.
- 2 oz Cognac or other fine aged brandy
- 1 oz Dark crème de cacao
- 1 oz Cream
- Garnish: Freshly grated nutmeg
- Glass: Cocktail
Directions.
- Add all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice.
- Shake, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
