Brandy Alexander

Brandy Alexander is one of the most famous cream drinks in the history of cocktails. This cocktail is actually a variation of an older recipe, the Alexander cocktail. The first Alexander cocktail was prepared with gin and is thought to have originated in New York in the early 20th century.

In the 1920s, bartenders changed this recipe and started using brandy instead of gin. This change gave the cocktail a warmer, richer and rounder flavor. Brandy's grape-based character, combined with chocolate liqueur and cream, created a dessert drink.

Brandy Alexander became especially popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Many people preferred this cocktail as a dessert cocktail served after dinner. Thanks to its creamy texture and chocolate aroma, it has become one of the favorites of dessert lovers.
