Pro Tips

👰 Wedding Favorite

The Brandy Alexander became hugely popular after appearing at Princess Anne's 1973 wedding. John Lennon famously drank them during his "Lost Weekend" period.

🥛 Cream Quality

Use real heavy cream, not half-and-half. The richness is the point. Some modern versions add a small scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra decadence.
