Alexanderは、ジン、ホワイトクレームドカカオ、ライトクリームを組み合わせ、新鮮なナツメグを散らしたクリーミーなデザートカクテルで、ブランデーで作る場合はブランデーアレクサンダーとも呼ばれます。IBA公認のUnforgettableカクテルとして、クラシック時代の偉大な食後酒の一つです。6.34%ABVで、その豊かさはアルコールではなくクリームから生まれています。
History & Origins
The Alexander was created in the early 20th century and is widely attributed to Troy Alexander, a New York bartender who reportedly invented it around 1915 for a dinner celebrating the completion of the Panama Canal, though this origin is disputed. The Brandy Alexander variation became more popular over time, eventually overshadowing the original gin version. It was a staple of the IBA's Unforgettables category for its enduring place in cocktail culture.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Sweet chocolate from the crème de cacao mingled with fresh cream and a gentle dusting of warm nutmeg spice. Palate: Rich and indulgent; the cream provides a silky texture while the crème de cacao delivers a light cocoa sweetness, with gin's botanicals providing a subtle counterpoint. Finish: Creamy and warm, with lingering nutmeg spice.
Pro Tip
Freshly grate whole nutmeg over the finished drink rather than using pre-ground to maximize the aromatic impact of the garnish.
