Other Notes
Created for the wedding celebration of Princess Mary and Lord Lascelles, in 1922, the Brandy Alexander was already a household name by the mid 1930s. A classic blend of brandy and chocolate, all smoothed with cream, this cocktail had its genesis in a gin-based recipe that was called simply an "Alexander". It reached the height of popular culture in the pilot episode of the Mary Tyler Moore television show, when the Mary Richards character asked for one during her job interview.Created for the wedding celebration of Princess Mary and Lord Lascelles, in 1922, the Brandy Alexander was already a household name by the mid 1930s.
