Alexander Cocktail

Shaker and ice 1 oz. Gin 14 oz. Creme de Cacao V2 oz. pure cream Shake, strain and serve in cocktail glass. No decoration. Like all drinks having pure cream as an ingredi ent, this is very smooth, and particularly popular among those who are opposed to the flavor of straight Gin. The purpose of the Creme de Cacao is two-fold. It sweetens the drink as well as fla vors it with a chocolate taste, which is the main characteristic of this liqueur. A drink much fancied by ladies. Most brands of Creme de-Cacao are approx imately 60 proof. Observations
