Brandy Alexander is the quintessential holiday cocktail for me, but it’s probably not the version you’re picturing. The classic Brandy Alexander is a simple three-ingredient drink that’s rich and sweet. It’s perfect when you want an easy dessert cocktail. But the one I grew up with in the Midwest was a full-blown blended milkshake. It’s the kind of dessert you actually have to save room for. Pure decadence in true Wisconsin fashion. Today I’m making both the classic Brandy Alexander and the blended ice cream version so you can decide which recipe gets a spot in your holiday lineup. Cheers!
