January
31st is National Brandy Alexander Day. Being that its an old school
drink that doesn’t receive the proper attention it deserves in this day &
age we figured we would help to enlighten everyone about what exactly this
drink is.
The
Brandy Alexander is a sweet, brandy based cocktail consisting of Cognac and Crème
de Cacao that became popular in the early 20th century. It is a play
or variation of an earlier, gin based cocktail that was simply called an
Alexander.
