Cocktail history
The Alexander The Great alcoholic cocktail has an interesting history that dates back to the “Prohibition” period in the United States. The original recipe was developed to mask the taste of low-quality alcohol used in speakeasies by mixing it with chocolate liqueur and cream.
The drink was served in a well-known underground bar frequented by high society. One of the regular visitors was the literary critic Alexander Vuttock, who is probably the person the cocktail is named after.
Food Pairing
Alexander The Great vodka cocktail is a perfect match for desserts that are rich in flavour and aroma, such as chocolate cakes, coffee mousse or chocolate truffles. These dishes will perfectly accentuate the depth of the coffee and chocolate notes of the cocktail, adding even more sophistication and elegance to it.
The taste combinations with desserts create harmony and complete a gastronomic pleasure that is suitable for both festive parties and relaxed gatherings with close friends.
