Alexander

Japanese: アレキサンダー
Alexander
A sweet cocktail based on brandy. Place 30ml of brandy, 15ml of creme de cacao, and 15ml of cream in a shaker, add ice, shake, and pour into a glass. This cocktail is said to have been dedicated to Alexandra, the future King Edward VII of England, and Princess Alexandra of Denmark, in 1863 to commemorate their marriage. It was originally called "Alexandra," but the name was changed to this one at some point. In the film "Days of Wine and Roses," the female protagonist, who is offered this cocktail, eventually becomes an alcoholic.
