Fabulous dessert cocktail! Tastes like a vanilla *adult fun* frosty! Got 2 thumbs up from all who have tried it. Definitely a 5/5!
love to hear it!!! cheers!
I knew this drink as a Brandy Alexander. Used the same recipe except added the ice cream and crushed ice at the very end and just mixed it lightly as to form a soft serve ice cream which would come up out of the brandy glass.
