Add all ingredients to your shaker with plenty of ice. Shake judiciously and strain into a chilled coupe. Finish by grating nutmeg and dark chocolate on top. Cheers to the Holidays!

Editor's Note

Armagnac and sweet vermouth replace chocolate liqueur, giving this festive nightcap a herb‑spiced, creamy character.

What a fantastic holiday twist on the Alexander! Using Borsci S.Marzano is an inspired choice – that herbal complexity must be incredible with the Armagnac and cream. Cheers!
