Dive into the decadent indulgence of the Alexander, a velvety classic often enjoyed as an after-dinner treat. This luxurious blend features the rich, nutty notes of Ironclad Bourbon Whiskey, perfectly balanced by the dark, intense flavor of crème de cacao and the smooth texture of heavy cream. Served ice-cold in a coupe or cocktail glass, the Alexander offers a comforting, sophisticated sip. It’s the ultimate creamy dessert cocktail, guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth with every nutmeg-dusted measure.
Prep: Place your coupe or cocktail glass in the freezer to chill completely. Measure all liquid ingredients: 2 oz dark crème de cacao, 2 oz heavy cream, and 1.5 oz Ironclad Bourbon Whiskey.
Mix: Combine the measured crème de cacao, heavy cream, and Ironclad Bourbon Whiskey directly into a professional cocktail shaker.
Shake: Fill the shaker halfway with fresh ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for approximately 30 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is thoroughly frosted, ensuring optimal chill and dilution.
Serve: Double strain the chilled mixture from the shaker into the waiting, chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish: Finish the presentation by topping the drink with a generous dusting of freshly grated nutmeg and placing the chocolate baton across the rim.
