Ah, the Brandy Alexander. A cocktail born from the depths of despair and the ironic twist of fate. Legend has it that it was created in a dimly lit speakeasy, where the bartender, in the midst of a particularly soul-crushing shift, decided to mix together some brandy and cream, just to see if anything good could come out of this never-ending cycle of misery and monotony. And lo and behold, the Brandy Alexander was born — a bittersweet ode to the futility of existence, with a dash of nutmeg on top for that extra kick of irony.
Now, as I prepare to divulge the prelude to crafting this cocktail, let me show you how to navigate the treacherous waters of mixology with the grace and finesse of a disillusioned artist. The first step is to… Oh, would you look at the time? It seems I’ve run out of existential angst for the day. My apologies, but I’ll have to leave the actual details for another moment of despair. Cheers to that.
Ingredients:
- 1½ oz Brandy
- 1 oz Dark Creme de Cacao
- 1 oz Heavy Cream
- Freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish
Instructions:
- Fill a shaker with ice.
- Add the brandy, dark creme de cacao, and heavy cream to the shaker.

There you have it, a cocktail as temporary relief from the unyielding weight of existence as a fleeting moment of joy in a never-ending parade of misery. Because nothing says “I’m grappling with the absurdity of life” quite like sipping on a concoction of brandy, cream, and nutmeg. It’s the perfect way to momentarily forget that we’re all just spinning on a rock hurtling through space, desperately clinging to fleeting pleasures in a futile attempt to distract ourselves from the relentless march of time. Cheers to the exquisite irony of seeking solace in a glass.
