Brandy Alexander
Brandy in Cocktails? Why not? Just like any alcohol, it can be mixed, blended, and in many cases, thoroughly obliterated into a drink concoction. A really, really, good/great brandy is probably best enjoyed "neat" (no ice....no mix) in a snifter. One of the more popular mixed drinks using brandy is a Brandy Alexander: 1 1/2 oz brandy 1 oz dark creme de cacao 1 oz half-and-half 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg So, yes, Dorothy, you can go back to Kansas and you can use Brandy in Cocktails.

Kahlua can be a satisfactory substitute for creme de cacao in some cocktails, especially those that benefit from its coffee flavor. However, it has a distinct taste profile that includes sweetness and coffee notes, which may alter the intended flavor of the drink. If the recipe relies heavily on the chocolate notes of creme de cacao, Kahlua might not provide the same experience. Adjustments to the recipe may be necessary to balance the flavors.

Creme de almond and creme de noyaux are both almond-flavored liqueurs, but they differ in their base ingredients. Creme de almond is made from almonds, while creme de noyaux is made from apricot kernels. In terms of flavor, creme de almond has a more subtle almond taste, while creme de noyaux has a stronger, slightly bitter almond flavor. In cocktails, creme de almond is often used to add a hint of almond sweetness, while creme de noyaux is used for a more pronounced almond flavor. Creme de almond is commonly used in classic cocktails like the Mai Tai and Amaretto Sour, while creme de noyaux is used in drinks like the Pink Squirrel and the Japanese Slipper. Both liqueurs can add depth and complexity to cocktails, but the choice between them depends on the desired level of almond flavor.
