In keeping with the recent theme of creamy cocktails, which will most likely end when the container of half 'n half in my refrigerator runs out or goes bad, I mixed up an Alexander's Sister.
Like most of the other cream based cocktails I've tried, it's not the most subtle of tastes, but makes for a sweet treat. Classified as a "digestif", this would make a nice post-meal treat in lieu of a dessert.
I like that you can actually taste the gin in this one, as it's not completely overpowered by creams and liquers as is the base alcohol in other creamy drinks. Being that a primary ingredient is creme de menthe, mint haters need not apply.
As for everyone else: Bottoms up!

1 1/2 oz cream
