Coupe or cocktail glass

The Brady Alexander is a play on the classic Brandy Alexander cocktail, a rich and creamy dessert drink that gained popularity in the early 20th century. This indulgent cocktail combines the warmth of cognac with the sweet chocolate notes of crème de cacao, all smoothed out with cream. It's perfect as an after-dinner drink or a luxurious nightcap on a cold evening.

  • 1 1/2 ounces Cognac
