This spirits cocktail comes to us from Sean Ludford, creator and editor of Bevx.com, an online magazine. He’s a regular contributor to TaylorEason.com.
At times there is nothing like an “Old School” cocktail made without embellishment. The Brandy Alexander evokes visions and the mood of cocktail parties long disbanded, but one I would love to attend from time to time. One of the greatest things about our current cocktail revival is the rediscovery of cocktails long considered passé. The Brandy Alexander is a theme party just waiting to happen.
