Cocktail Description

Indulgent yet ethereal, the Alexander floats between dessert and nightcap with its silky texture and beguiling chocolate notes.

This sophisticated cocktail combines the botanical backbone of Beefeater gin with the sweet vanilla-chocolate essence of white crème de cacao, all suspended in a cloud-like froth created by cream and egg white. The result is a velvety drink with gentle botanicals playing against cocoa sweetness, finished with aromatic nutmeg that adds warm spice to each sip. While it requires both wet and dry shaking techniques, this cocktail isn't particularly difficult to master—just remember to shake vigorously during the dry shake to create that signature foam. Perfect for after-dinner gatherings or as a special nightcap, the Alexander pairs beautifully with desserts featuring similar flavor notes: think chocolate truffles, vanilla bean panna cotta, or even a plate of butter cookies.
