4 shared ingredients · also Gin
🥃 Serve in: Martini Glass
The Alexander had a sibling, and she didn’t stray far from home. She keeps the family’s gin, cream and crème de cacao, then slips in crème de menthe when nobody’s looking. The result is cool, creamy and quietly chocolate-mint, like an after-dinner mint that’s been drinking. She’s still clearly an Alexander, just the one who sneaks out after curfew. Serve it ice cold with a grating of nutmeg or a single mint leaf, and don’t tell her brother.
Fill a shaker 2/3rds with ice and add ingredients. Shake until chilled. Pour into a small martini glass.
