Alexander

The first references to the Alexander was in 1910 and 1915, both cocktails were vastly different.  In Jack's Manuel of 1910, a cocktail is named Alexander using a combination of Rye Whisky and Benedictine.  Hugo Ensslin in 1915, coined a cocktail called the Alexander which was a combination of Gin, Creme de Cocoa, and Sweet Cream.  Alexanders are also knowned as Princess Mary.  Today, we see many variations of this cocktail: Brandy Alexander subsitutes the Gin for Brandy, Coffee Alexander subsitutes the brandy with coffee liquor, Blue Alexander subsitutes the creme de cocoa with blue Caracua.
