Mace and Black Pepper Brandy Alexander image

My grandma was, you know, a grandma in the truest sense, but when she wanted to get wild she'd order a single brandy Alexander. I've swapped nutmeg for an infusion of mace and a garnish of black pepper to honor her spicy kick.

Time 40m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pinches mace
1 1/2 ounces heavy cream
1 ounce brandy
1 ounce creme de cacao
Ice
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make an ice bath in a heatproof bowl or a high-sided saute pan. Set aside.
  • In a pot over medium-low heat, add the mace to the heavy cream. Bring the heavy cream up to a simmer, then remove the pot from the heat directly to the ice bath and stir until fully chilled. (If not using right away, transfer to a container and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.)
  • Combine the cream, brandy and creme de cacao in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake until very cold. Strain into a tall cocktail glass and garnish with black pepper, then serve.
