Everything You Need to Know About the Brandy Alexander
The Brandy Alexander is a creamy, indulgent cocktail that was the favorite libation of the Hollywood Vampires, a legendary "drinking club" of the 1970s, which included rock stars Alice Cooper, John Lennon, and Keith Moon of The Who (Cooper would later resurrect the name for a supergroup featuring actor Johnny Depp, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and members of Guns N' Roses). It's an evolution of the Gin Alexander, swapping out gin for the richer, more luxurious brandy and cognac. This cocktail epitomizes old-school decadence, its velvety texture evoking images of classic rock's heyday.
