The Alexandra Cocktail
The Alexandra cocktail is a luxurious and creamy drink. It’s perfect for the holiday season or as a decadent after-dinner treat. It’s a blend of dark rum, coffee and cocoa liqueur.
The Alexandra Cocktail is like a variation on the classic Brandy Alexander, but only really in the sense of the name. It has dark rum and coffee liqueur instead of brandy and offers a depth of flavor that’s both complex and satisfying. It blends rum’s robustness, the sweet notes of chocolate from the crème de cacao, and the coffee-infused richness of coffee liqueuer all smoothed together with cream.
If you’re a fan of an espresso martini, you might love this Alexandra cocktail too.
