Alexander B

This is somewhat like a chocolate milkshake, but better, as its a cocktail. I think I used whipping cream, when I tried this one as I was out of light cream, light cream should work too.
The Alexander Cocktail (varient B)

1/3 oz. Creme de Cacao
1/3 oz. brandy
1/3 oz. cream

1/2 oz. Curacao
4 dashes of lemon juice

The usual shake and strain mumbo-jumbo.

4 dashes of Italian vermouth
1/4 oz. gin
