Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions
Alex Day, David Kaplan, and Nick Fauchald - 2018
Cocktail Codex specifies Pierre Ferrand Ambre — a richer, more complex Cognac than the VS brandy most versions call for — and pairs it with Giffard's white crème de cacao, known for its clean, true chocolate flavor, resulting in a more sophisticated and less syrupy Alexander than the standard recipe.
