Brandy Alexander?

Question

Ive never tasted Brandy and I want to order a Brandy Alexander tommorow. Does the milk tame the brandy flavor? Is this a strong drink? Im a light drinker, usually do wine or Cosmopolitans..

Answer 1

Oh, you should definitely try one. They are a sweet drink, and use heavy cream and Creme de Cacao, a sweet liquor and nutmeg. I believe I've once had one made with vanilla ice cream instead of heavy cream. And if you can handle Cosmopolitans, girl .... Gotta give it a go !

Answer 2

It's weak compared to a cosmopolitan. But it is really sweet.

And yes, milk/cream does dilute the brandy flavor. Brandy Alexanders are really a winter drink, you often see them during the holidays.

Answer 3

IT IS CHEAPER TO BUY A BOTTLE OF LIQOR AT THE STORE AND DRINK AT HOME --THAN GO TO THE BAR AFTERWARD
