Alexander

The Alexander is a gin cocktail consisting of gin, Chocolate Liqueur (Crème de cacao), and Cream.

1 oz gin
1 oz white crème de cacao
1 oz light cream

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain contents into a cocktail glass. Sprinkle nutmeg on top and serve.

The most common variation of the Alexander is the Brandy Alexander, made with brandy instead of gin. Similarly, a Coffee Alexander substitutes coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua) for gin, and a Blue Alexander substitutes blue curacao for gin. Other variations exist.
