Just came across your video. I will be making this cocktail for an upcoming episode. A friend of mine who use to drink this a lot back in the 70's asked me to make one. Thanks. Cheers!
I fell in love with this drink many years ago in the states but as I am in England now you don't see it in cocktail bars. I make a good one myself. Its a great drink to unwind with'.
parts is an arbitrary unit of measurement. Anything can be considered a "part." from a toothpaste tube cap, to a gallon. If you use a cup for a "part", then for this recipe you use 2 cup cognac, 1 cup cacao, 1 cup cream. Or you could use 2 liters cognac, 1 liter cacao, 1 liter cream. Whatever unit size you use for one part of the recipe, you use for the others. That way the proportions will remain the same.
Great video and recipe. It's amazing how simplistic the video is yet some of these comments show how much people DO NOT think before talking (typing), comprehend or pay attention. Wow.
Love a brandy Alexander. I have it as a dessert. 😋 It is a shame that bar tenders these days don't even know what a Brandy Alexander is. I've only encountered 1 bar that made one, other so-called cocktail bars don't serve them
you need a good cognac and crem de cacao for this to be perfect, and also, the glasses must be kept chilled too.. tge right quantities make this a perfect drink, too much brandy and the sweetness is taken off, too little and it tastes like milkshake.. takes an experienced bartender to make this drink really really good, but, when its made right, damn its so good!
Really? I only had 2 that were actually quite good. All others were dissapointing. Either they were too watery or didn't taste right (perhaps it was the quality of the cognac).
@@StarKnightZ Yes. I think I did find out. I don't know why but it was tough to wrap my head around this part measurments. Thank you anyways for clearing this up. Cheers.
yea , he did . too late for me though , been sober 15 years , am bar-tending now , once in a while i wished i had tried some of these drinks . looks and smells like a good milkshake . all i did was beer and vodka . oh well, better to be alive .
