From my dad's old standby drink to my mom's. Amis claims that this drink isn't so much a drink for before meals, but a drink for a meal. This is probably due to the fact that you make it with heavy cream.
The Brandy Alexander
1 part Brandy
1 part Crème de Cocoa
1 Part heavy cream
sprinkle of nutmeg for garnish
The only bad thing about this drink is that I am currently on a diet, and anything that has heavy cream in it can't be good for that. That aside the drink is very tasty, and it's easy to see why Evelyn Waugh made it the drink of choice for one of the characters in Brideshead Revisted. You really can't drink a lot of these, due to their sheer weight alone, but they are good, but I'm pretty sure anything with crème de cocoa and heavy cream in it is bound to be good.
