Harry Nilsson and Brandy Alexanders

Delighted to find out that Harry Nilsson and John Lennon were great drinking buddies whose favorite tipple was the cocktail Brandy Alexander.

As a long time Nilsson fan, as well as a great drinker of cocktails it is nice to find the two strands coming together.

In earlier times (OK the early 80's) we used to go "cocktail bombing", where you turn up at someone's house with a cocktail shaker and the ingredients to a cocktail, and all get smashed. Ideally with something that wasn't that well known,after all we can all make a screwdriver.

One of my favorites at the time was a Brandy Alexander. Brandy, Cream and Creme de Cacao, sprinkled with chocolate. Many happy times were had with that simple combination.

Happy times.
