The Brandy Alexander is a dessert cocktail that gained popularity in the early twentieth century, often associated with post-dinner indulgence. The drink combines the warmth of brandy with chocolate sweetness, softened by cream into something rich and velvety. It drinks smooth and decadent, with the brandy's grape-based spirit providing just enough backbone to keep the sweetness in check.
