Hennessy Alexander

Origins

The Cocktail is known to be John Lennon’s favourite drink. The drink was originally made with Gin but was replaced by brandy during the early 1900s due to its popularity. There are various rumours about the origin of this drink but it’s most likely the drink was made and named after Troy Alexander, a bartender at Rector’s in New York at a dinner celebrating Phoebe Snow, a character in a popular advertising campaign.
