Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the brandy, crème de cacao, and cream. Fill with ice. Shake until the outside is frosty, about 30 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- Grate fresh nutmeg on top for garnish, if desired.
Notes
- * You can use dark crème de cacao or light crème de cacao depending on your preference.
- You can swap heavy cream for half and half. I would not suggest swapping for milk as it is too thin to give this drink its creamy and rich taste.
- To make the drink even colder, you can chill your coupe glasses in the freezer beforehand.
- If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, use a mason jar or any jar with a tight-fitting lid to shake the drink together. Then, strain the cocktail through a mesh strainer into your glass.
- Avoid adding crushed ice to the shaker as the ice will melt quicker, which will water down the Brandy Alexander.
- I recommend using whole nutmeg and not ground nutmeg as whole freshly grated nutmeg is stronger tasting and has much more flavor. It really enhances the cocktail’s flavor, so I don’t recommend skipping the garnish.
- If you do not have nutmeg but also want a warm-spiced flavor for garnish, swap for a bit of cinnamon.
