The ULTIMATE Festive Drink - Alexander cocktail
When the name Alexander, a few things may come to your mind. Alexander the Great, Alexander Hamilton... But there's also Alexander the Drink! This is a classic cocktail that dates back to the early 1900s. Before the Brandy version, there also was the Gin version. Today we're going to make both versions and compare them, side by side.
Hard to confirm the origins of this drink, because there are a couple compelling stories. But the most plausible one was found by a historian, in the Philadelphia Inquirer from a publication on October 3rd, 1915. It states that a Head bartender “went as far as to create an Alexander cocktail.” This was in honor of Philadelphia pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander for the 1915 World Series Philly vs Boston. Boston won that series.
Many people however link the cocktail to Troy Alexander. A bartender at a New York pre-Prohibition lobster restaurant called Rector’s. It is said that Mr. Troy created this cocktail for a dinner celebrating a successful advertising campaign. The ad campaign was Phoebe Snow and it ran for almost 70 years. She became one of the most recognized advertising mascots.
But Alexander was a favorite during the Prohibition era as the cream and nutmeg garnish helped disguise the rough taste of Homemade “Bathtub Gin”.

Fino Sherry Cocktails 2 Ways | The PERFECT drink pairing with food
Hello my friend . I enjoyed the video and the cocktails too . Only one question …you said the “brown”disaronno has kosher certification. The white one has it too ?
I purchased a bottle last week for $70 U.S.
real mojitos does not contains club soda sorry!
Jimador and casa dragones are diffuser made trash
Be careful recommending cocktails that tastes of dirty and possibly poisonous roots. Fernet can be good in small quantities hidden behind other flavours as long as the flavour blends. Fernet coke is a bit on the right way but not really there. My bottle of Fernet will probably last five years and I like to drink.
Looks delicious! Love the homemade touches. Which rums did/do you use? ❤️🇵🇷🌺
Why is Coco Lopez bad for you?
Dostum harika bir anlatım. Güzel oldu. Deneyeceğim.
Local liquor store just had them on sale for $60!! 😄👍
Which part? Wanna get it.
Amaretto is not made from almonds. They use apricot pits.
I perched mine for 59.00 per bottle so I perched the whole case.
I bought one yesterday from Costco for $68 !!!
Going to Cuba in September 2023. Gonna try to score some.
Great concept- any chance for a round 2?
You can't find it quite easily because it goes quickly. I get it every year when I transition through Dublin, Ireland airport. If you're close to Canada like me, you can cross the border to a liquor store over a long weekend holiday such as President's day.
Amareto and exclusively Disarono is my #1 drink, always have it in stock. I’ll try those and esp the #2. Every one of those coctails look delicious. Disarono is Italians god gift
Just a note, that you should leave it out at room temperature for three days after bottling and then you should refrigerate it. Allowing it to stay out will create a lot more carbonation because putting it in the fridge right away will cause it to stop fermenting. That's why you didn't get a lot of bubbles when you opened it
We know you're not doing videos any more, but we wanted to just stop in and say we hope you have a very Merry Christmas next week!
Merry Christmas! I wish I had more time to start posting once again
i don't think sipping different mezcals in the same glass is a good idea. and i wouldn't wear lipstic either when i'm tasting. i actually see the lipstick glued on rim of the glass when she says the last mezcal "taste like lipstic" :) i think that's really just the lipstick :p nice video though
I'm going to ask my friend for this cocktail! looks so good
Sorry but, expresso? 🙄
Isn't Amaretto made from peach pits?
Where is the orange liquer in the big glass????
This dude made me super uncomfortable for some reason
Can i just use supermarket apple juice since i don’t have a juicer :(
You can do it without a juicer. Just dice the apple and use a muddler to smash out the juice
This is another favourite cocktail of mine! Delicious! I have always been a huge fan of Fernet Branca! I love this drink at the end of a long day when I want to sip slowly on a lovely libation!! I use a good quality block of ice and the cocktail doesn't dilute quickly. Thanks so much!! 🙂
This is in my top 10 favourite cocktails! I love it and enjoy a Toronto cocktail whenever I remember to make one! I love using Canadian Rye which is superb, 100 Rye and sometimes I use Bulleit Bourbon but being in Vancouver I love accessing Canadian Rye! Lot 40 is my favourite - fabulous!! Fernet is a love of mine! Spectacular!! Ice is a big part of the cocktail for me. I make clear blocks of ice!! 🙂
I am a huge Martini fan - bracingly cold, very dry (I wash the ice with Dry Vermouth and strain it out leaving only the slightest amount of Vermouth!!) and then expressing organic lemon spritz onto the Martini!! Sometimes I add 2 drops of good quality orange or grapefruit bitters! The grapefruit are actually very nice as I think they pair beautifully with the Gin! Loving the Martini so much makes me think I would really enjoy The Tuxedo Number 2!! It looks fabulous and oh so delicious!! I have never had one and I am definitely going to make one for friends and myself before dinner tonight! I even have all the ingredients! I love that you also enjoy St. George's spirits! They are amazing! Terrific video! Cheers!! 🙂
This was a fun cocktail competition. This was so much fun to watch. Thanks for doing this!
Why do you add water in large batch? Can it be made without water?
I think because typically when you make a drink in a shaker, the ice breaks up and dilutes the drink. But because there is no ice, there is no dilution. So the water is to compensate for that
Nice video
Rinse your glasses!
I paid 22€ for a bottle of this in March. The beauty of tax-free Andorra. An absolute steal at that price. Sadly couldn't find any 15yr (that's around £150 in the UK).
Hi, lately there's a huge hype about a tequila with a distinctive look and sound from the sound of the bottle cap(top). Clase Azul Handcrafted Reposado. A review for this would be so interesting
great video!!
It better be smokey ! Or it aint real mezcal .
Not every good sipper is the best mixer. Fortaleza is too good and too pricey for mixed drinks. I haven't had the other two. For low price, ADDITIVE FREE, and a good mixers I like Tres Agaves and Arrette blancos.
Banana
Was the channel abandoned?
:(
Ok the Tommy’s single serve margarita is AMAZING!!!! Can’t wait to try the larger portion for my guests tomorrow.
Bro... Your music is loud and annoying.
6:08 almost fell out of my seat when I heard you say "expresso"
Watching this while enjoying Fortaleza Blanco. Fortaleza and El Tesoro are my two favorites, and I like Reposado a bit more but go for Blanco at times. I tried El Jimador and I found it to be a really harsh tequila and could not drink it, even tried it as a Paloma and that did not cover up the harsh flavor...
El Jimador harsh? Comments like this is what makes it hard to decide whether to try this or not where some people say it’s easy in the palate and works great with margaritas and then I turn around and see opposing comments. As a newbie to the Margarita making scene it gets discouraging and confusing sometimes at not blowing a lot of money or knowing what to get.
Fellow boricua bartender checking in✊🏾🇵🇷
You've definitely got alcohol in there. Yeast eats the sugar and creates ethanol. Might be low abv but still
With no winner I feel like I will now be holding in a sneeze for the remainder of my days.....
If anyone Is wondering the man in the first palenque his name is Felix Angeles Arellanes. A true master mezcalero from the town of Santa Catarina Minas. Most everyone the still uses a clay pot still. That type of mezcal simply has no equal.
I had this drink the other day ~ super delicious >< the guy gave me 5 cherries! (for free, wooo)
i like the fact you got 2 amazing cocktail makers to make great cocktails. Great job. keep it up.
Got one for 124.99 weeks including tax in central NY.
