Brandy Alexander

contains alcohol / gluten free

Brandy Alexander cocktails have been around since the early 1900s, when they appeared as "Alexanders" in a book called, Recipes for Mixed Drinks. New York legend has it being served at the Hotel Rector in NYC, where it was named for bartender, Troy Alexander. I was first introduced to them while living in Florida, in my younger days. Sipping Brandy Alexanders was a fine way to spend a hot, Florida evening. We mixed ours with ice cream - sometimes chocolate! Hmmm....
