The Apple Jacks Alexander is our fun (and delicious!) take on the classic Brandy Alexander. It’s a perfect dessert cocktail, but hey, it’s made with cereal, so why not enjoy it for breakfast! Yeah!… But, no matter the hour, this wonderful concoction will bring a smile to your face, as our breakfast cereal-based cocktails most always do. While the traditional Alexander utilizes crème de cacao, we substitute the mildly bitter Italian amaro, Averna, in its place because it provides a complexity to this drink that you wouldn’t believe. Adding depth and providing a flavorful backbone, while still allowing the crisp sweet cinnamon-sugar notes from the infused Applejack, it makes for one delicious (and fun!) cocktail.
