  • A weirdly dissonant Alexander. Somewhere between a Scotch and Coconut and Brandy Alexander. Too sweet.

Moderated to put into standard format and remove errant ingredient. The original calls for "Roasted Coconut Juice". How is this made or is it purchased? Seems like way too much volume for a cocktail glass. Perhaps it makes two drinks?
