A rich Black Forest Gateau-like fruity twist on the creamy classic gin-based Alexander and the popular Brandy Alexander. Despite the inclusion of egg white, best not to dry shake this cocktail.

Really delicious, if simple dessert drink. I will say the cherry is somewhat lost.

Yes, for us also the cherry liqueur was a bit lost. So we carefully added a pour of 2.5ml of the liqueur (go with 5ml if you wish) through the middle of the otherwise prepared drink. Settled nicely in the bottom of the glass for a cherry reward as the finale.

Black forest gateau in a glass! I added a garnish of Cacao powder in addition to the cherry 🍒.

There’s no egg white in the list of ingredients, so wondering if DRY SHAKING should be removed from the instructions, or is it egg white that should be added to the ingredients?
