Hey, I'm Jocelyn and this is Sandra and it's Friday so we are making cocktails
0:04
What are you making me today? Today we're going to do something a little different. A lot of people have heard of the Brandy Alexander
0:10
But today we're going to do the original Alexander, which predates the Brandy Alexander
0:15
And it's made with your favorite gin. Yay, gin! And what I love about this, it's so easy to remember one part of each thing
0:25
Gin, creme de cacao, and half and half. so without further ado
0:30
I think I can handle this I think you're going to like this
0:34
the cacao has got to kick out some of that evergreen gin flavor right
0:38
I think you're going to like this one I'll tell you what I really love this for is it the holidays because it's so easy to make
0:44
and there's something very festive about it and it's a bit of a celebratory
0:48
drink because of the half and half there are some calories so you might not want to drink it every day
0:54
but for special occasions or maybe you do calories are good but i can see how you would say it's festive at the holidays because gin
1:03
tastes like a christmas tree gin chocolate gin chocolate and cream i mean what else could be
1:09
better some recipes will show this made with heavy cream you can do that i just find it's a little
1:15
too heavy yeah no pun intended yeah i think that this lightens it up and actually makes it a more
1:21
a pleasant and approachable drink. Okay so it on ice and my sugar Can you make this frozen Because I know Brandy Alexander some people like mother often
1:44
Did y'all see the look she gave me? It was, it was called staring in Southern
1:50
No, that wasn't staring, that was staring in person to her lips. And I know what that means
1:54
and doodoo for even... Never? No. No. No. All right, so I'm kind of excited
2:01
And no garnish on this. No garnish. Kind of a big fan of not garnishing things
2:05
No garnish. So here it is. I just put a little nutmeg on top. Okay
2:17
So the nutmeg smells heavenly, right? Right. But it also looks really beautiful
2:22
And I think that would contribute to the Christmas Eve, you know, that winter holiday kind of
2:29
It really does. Yeah. Sandra, you found a tea drink I like
2:38
How about that? I could probably only really have one because it is pretty sweet
2:43
And it's a strong drink. Obviously, it's a lot of liquor in there for not a lot of space in a glass
2:50
but it's really tasty and it's absolutely beautiful so thank you for that yay um i think i might have
2:57
more see y'all later cheers
