Jeffrey's Dad had a bad experience with the Brandy Alexander back in the 70's. Could the cause be related to the ice cream used as an ingredient or the fact that they used a blender to mix up batches? Perhaps it was that they drank three full blenders of the rich concoction? We will never know.
What we do know, is that the Alexander is a type of drink in which any base spirit, arguably, can be used. Originally, it was made with Gin as opposed to today's more popular variation containing Brandy. In this episode, Jeffrey makes a Gin Alexander that his Dad will never drink but would be proud of.

*FiberCreme is a high-fiber multifunctional creamer that can make any food or drink creamier and tastier.
The function of FiberCreme can be used as an alternative to coconut milk and coconut milk.
The advantages of FiberCreme include high fiber, low sugar, cholesterol free, trans fat free, gluten free, lactose free, has a low glycemic index. The high fiber content is able to suppress hunger longer so it is suitable for dieting. The sugar content and low glycemic index make FiberCreme suitable for diabetics.
The main component of FiberCreme is soluble dietary fiber oligosaccharides derived from tapioca/cassava. Isomalto-Oligosaccharides belong to the group of carbohydrates that cannot be absorbed by the body. So, the body will not store it in excess so it does not have the potential to raise blood sugar in the body.
The difference between FiberCreme and other creamers is that other creamers can generally only be used as a mixture of certain drinks. FiberCreme is a multifunctional creamer that can be used as a substitute for coconut milk and milk in almost all types of drinks and foods. Another advantage of FiberCreme is that it is high in fiber, low in sugar, cholesterol free, and free of trans oils.
So, here i make it as a Creamer for subtitute of cream at the Brandy Alexander Cocktail , as you all know , The Brandy Alexander also could have been created for the first time in 1922 at the wedding of Henry George Charles Lascelles, 6th Earl of Harewood, and Princess Victoria Alexandra Alice Mary, daughter of King George V and Queen Mary. Or perhaps the claim by Algonquin Round Table member, critic Alexander Woollcott, that the drink was named for him is true. Beatles fans will be quick to note that the Brandy Alexander was John Lennon’s favorite cocktail.
Of course, the Brandy Alexander could be named for a person I believe is its most likely creator. Troy Alexander purportedly came up with the drink while working as a bartender at famed New York City restaurant Rector’s. Operating from 1899 to 1919, Rector’s boasted the first revolving front door in New York and was a high-society haunt for NYC’s nouveau riche. Given Rector’s history and importance to our industry, it’s not difficult to believe that Troy Alexander created the Brandy Alexander.
That said, it’s important for you to know that the Brandy Alexander is itself a riff on another cocktail, the gin-based Alexander. With that in mind, you’ll find recipes below for gin, vodka and bourbon Alexanders. You can also make them with rum and coffee liqueurs, so get creative for National Brandy Alexander Day!
