Pistachio Cream Alexander

Description

Pistachio Cream Alexander treats pistachio like a serious dessert flavour rather than a neon syrup. Cognac supplies dried fruit and oak, white crème de cacao adds cocoa-butter sweetness and pistachio syrup brings roasted-nut character.

Fresh cream rounds the drink into the plush texture expected from an Alexander. Nutmeg provides enough spice to keep the finish aromatic rather than flat.
