Booze, glorious booze
Oct. 7th, 2012 10:54 pm To celebrate the Arrival of the Outline, and having ten thousand words in the document file, I'm having a drink.
I'm officially calling it Something Like A Brandy Alexander.
It has
1 1/2 oz brandy (I didn't have very good brandy, but you work with what you got)
1/2 oz amaretto (the good stuff)
1/2 oz creme de cacao (I had dark, not white, and I don't think it matters)
Put all this on one of the cute roly-poly Mad Men cocktail tumblers (that I lucked into at a garage sale for $1 each) and fill to the bottom of the silver band with half-and-half.
I think the Brandy Alexanders that![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
matociquala serves at Thanksgiving have Frangelico in them instead. And maybe actual light cream. And definitely nutmeg grated over the top, but I couldn't be arsed to get the nutmeg and the Microplane out.
But it is Something Like A Brandy Alexander, and it's very tasty.
