Brandy Alexander

What it tastes like

A silky, creamy texture. Overall it reads as creamy.

Ingredient tips

• Use single (light) or double cream depending on how rich you want the finish.

When to serve it

Serve after dinner instead of dessert.

Common mistakes

• Shaking too briefly. Shake hard for around 10–12 seconds so the drink chills and dilutes properly.
• Serving in a warm glass. Chill the coupe or martini glass in the freezer first.
