Alexander the #Vegan

Posted on January 3, 2018 by Marian Allen

Since way back when, Mom and Grandma and Grandpa hosted family New Year’s Eve parties and served a drink they called King Alphonse. It isn’t King Alphonse; it’s Alexander the Great.

Alexander the Great

Put equal parts of creme de cacao, coffee liqueur, vodka, and cream into a shaker with some ice and shake it up. Strain it into a lowball glass (whatever THAT is).

If you leave out the vodka, it’s just an Alexander. So I made this, which I call an Alexander the Vegan, because obviously.

Alexander the Vegan

Creme de cacao, coffee liqueur, and vanilla almond milk. How does it taste? BELICIOUS!

A WRITING PROMPT BASED ON MY POST: A person or family persists in misnaming something, which drives one member of the family round the twist.

I tend to react badly to mixed drinks in general. It sounds good, but I’ll pass.

  Okay, I’ll make you a Shirley the Vegan: chocolate syrup, coffee, and vanilla almond milk. 🙂

I’ll stick with Chateauneuf du Pape. (Lots of it- but I’ll stick with it 🙂 )
