The Alexander was created in the early 1900’s. There were actually two different drinks at the time with the same name, but this recipe won out and stood the test of time. There are a couple different variations of the drink, including the Coffee Alexander and the Blue Alexander, but there are none more famous than the Brandy Alexander. The IBA even call their Brandy Alexander just Alexander.
