General Information about the Brandy Alexander
Well known at the time of USA Prohibition. Seems that the original recipe was introduced with bathtub gin (named Alexander) and the cream liqueur was to mask the strong and bad flavour of the home made alcohol.

Also you can replace brandy or cognac with gin for the original Alexander cocktail.
