Commander’s Palace Shrimp & Tasso Henican

The most likely account of the creation of the Alexander cocktail is that it was created by Troy Alexander, a bartender at New York’s Rector’s restaurant, near the beginning of the 20th century. The original drink uses 2 parts gin, to 1 part crème de Cacao and 1 part cream. Usually shaken and strained into a cocktail glass and garnished with grated nutmeg.
