Alejandro

Alejandro.

There are some delicious variants in the Alexander family. Among them is a version from the Chug Club with aged tequila, which is highly recommended.

30 ml Milenario Anejo tequila
30 ml Tempus Fugit Crème de Cacao a la Vanille
30 ml cream
grated nutmeg as garnish

Preparation: Shaken, garnish with grated nutmeg.

In January 2016, we visited the Chug Club There is a focus on tequila there, so it is not surprising that this spirit is preferred. We were served a particularly delicious Alexander by Bettina Kupsa and Johann Wader as dessert, with a matured tequila instead of the usual brandy. What could be more natural than to call this Mexican Alexander variant by its Spanish name: Alejandro.

The Alejandro is in no way inferior to a classic Brandy Alexander, so it was obvious for us to remix it and share our recipe with you.

About

Hi, I’m Armin and I’m interested in the history of mixed drinks. I examine historical sources, scrutinise traditional narratives and try to present the development of our bar culture in as well-researched and accessible a way as possible. As a freelance journalist, I write about bar culture and focus particularly on historical and critical research. My articles are published in German and English. I value exchanging ideas with others who share this interest, as together we often discover more than any of us could find on our own. If you have any questions, would like to make a suggestion, or know of a source I should look into, I’d be delighted to hear from you. Even after thorough research, there’s always something new to discover – and I’m always keen to learn more.
