The Brandy Alexander is dessert in a glass—a creamy, decadent classic that’s been charming drinkers since the early 20th century. Made with brandy, crème de cacao, and cream, it’s smooth, sweet, and just boozy enough to remind you it’s still a cocktail. Originally a gin-based drink, the brandy version stole the show and became a favorite of jazz-age soirées, supper clubs, and even John Lennon. Garnished with a dusting of nutmeg, it’s indulgent, elegant, and dangerously easy to sip.
