An enjoyable drink that gives off end-of-year holiday vibes. At least with the gin I used (The Botanist), however, the gin was a bit overpowering, so I added 10ml of Frangelico, which I felt kept with the spirit of the drink but made it a bit less “gin-tense.”
I love this! It's such a shame it has been eclipsed by the upstart Brandy Alexander - this parent drink foregrounds the milkiness of the cream and the chocolatey creme de cacao. The gin is there of course, but doesn't impose as much as brandy does in the more popular variant. Seriously, give this a try!
