Brandy Alexander

This is a tasty classic. Easy to make. A little too easy to sip, so be careful! You can use a pricier cognac or any bottle of brandy, and it’ll be good. I even stay in the cheap end with my creme de cacao.

If you want to get crazy, you can take this, add some vanilla ice cream and blend it into a smoothie, Wisconsin-Style! But my preference is ice cold, smooth sipping.

Cheers!
