Alexander Espresso Coffee - A Delicious Daily Espresso
Alexander Espresso Coffee is a delicious after-meal daily espresso. And, it did go through an evolutionary phase.
In the beginning, there was Alexander – a cocktail of equal parts of gin, creme de cacao (chocolate liqueur) and cream. Then, came the Brandy Alexander where the brandy replaced the gin. Finally, followed by Coffee Alexander with chocolate liqueur was substituted by coffee liqueur.
Alexander Espresso went further and the refined recipe replaced the coffee liqueur with fresh espresso and brought back creme de cacao as well. Alexander Espresso is a wonderful after-dinner dessert coffee. It is also called Espresso Alexander and Cafe Alessandro.
