Alexander
_____________
There are at least two drinks from the early 20th century, which were known by the name ‘Alexander’, but which are nevertheless different drinks. In Jack’s Manual on The Vintage & Production, Care & Handling of Wines, Liquors &c. (1910) by Jacob Abraham Grohusko, the ‘Alexander Cocktail’ is described as three parts rye whiskey, one part Bénédictine, with a piece of ice and a twist of orange peel.[3] In Recipes for Mixed Drinks (1915) by Hugo Ensslin, a drink by the same name is made with equal parts of gin, white crème de cacao and sweet cream; shaken with ice, and strained.
