    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Celebrate Easter with the creamy and indulgent Brandy Alexander cocktail - a classic blend of smooth brandy and chocolate.

    The Brandy Alexander cocktail, a classic beverage that has been enjoyed since the early 20th century, is a creamy and indulgent cocktail made with brandy, crème de cacao, and cream. It's a favorite of the upper class, and it's often served as a dessert cocktail at social gatherings and fine dining establishments.

    Originally created as a variation of the gin-based Alexander cocktail, the Brandy Alexander gained popularity during the 1920s and 1930s. This was a time when people were looking for decadent treats to enjoy during the Prohibition era. During this period, it was a favourite because its sweet and creamy flavors helped mask the taste of the bootlegged alcohol that was often used. The cocktail gained further popularity in the 1950s and 1960s when it was featured in movies and TV shows. Today, the Brandy Alexander remains a timeless cocktail that is enjoyed by many, and its rich history and elegant flavors make it a perfect choice for special occasions.
