Quite tasty and balanced. Added a dash of Bar Keep Apple Bitters.

Very similar to Trader Vic’s Eastern Sour, though this pre-dates it by at least 30 years. This is much more balanced. Delicious

It’s been my tradition to have a brandy alexander while my wife and I decorate the Christmas tree. Been doing that for years, until last when when I discovered all the Alexander variations. This year I tried this example and it leaves me flat. There just seem to be much to it. I added a half ounce of crème de cacao, which helped, but still doesn’t compete against my current favorite, the Hazelnut Alexander.

Definitely needs a darker rum. Tried this with a Flor de Cana reserva and Curzan Black Strap and it is significantly much more interesting with the Curzan.
