brandy alexander mom's way
My parents drank cocktails only on special occasions, and for my Mom it was always a Brandy Alexander. Mom did not like brandy but she loved the crème de cacao and cream in it! I set out to find a brandy I think she would have loved and this one is it. It is an Italian brandy with a hint of vanilla and baking spices. If you cannot find it just use any premium quality brandy. It will still be the best Brandy Alexander you've ever had. Mom has passed on but I have completed my mission to perfect a concoction that I think she would have loved. This one is for you Mom.
