Brandy Alexander

Name: Brandy Alexander

Ingredients: 

1 1/2 ounces brandy

1 ounce dark creme de cacao

1 ounce half-and-half

1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Preparation:

Fill a shaker halfway with ice cubes. Pour in the brandy, creme de cacao, and the half-and-half. Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass. Sprinkle the grated nutmeg over the top. Tip: grind a fresh, whole nutmeg over the top of the drink and it’ll have more flavor than ground nutmeg from a jar.

Garnish:

There are a few ways to jazz it up:

Leave out the cream and ice, and instead blend the alcohol with vanilla ice cream

Serve it over crushed ice to make it a frappe

Glass:
