Brandy Alexander Cocktail - Make it Quickly

The origins of the Brandy Alexander can be traced back to the early 20th century. It is a variation of an earlier cocktail called the Alexander, which was made with gin, white crème de cacao, and cream. The exact origins of the Alexander are unclear, but it gained popularity in the early 1900s. The Brandy Alexander, which substitutes brandy for gin, emerged as a popular variation and eventually eclipsed the original in fame. The Brandy Alexander became particularly famous in the 1920s during the Prohibition era in the United States. It was a favorite among the fashionable elite and was often associated with luxurious settings and sophisticated gatherings. The cocktail's appeal was further solidified when it appeared in popular culture, notably in the 1930s movie "Dinner at Eight" and later in the 1970s song "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" by Looking Glass, although the song isn't directly about the cocktail.
