Trio's
Trios are usually dessert-style drinks because trios typically have cream or a cream spirit with in the ingredients. Now to convert a Duo into a Trio, just add cream or cream liqueur.
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.
