This classic cocktail is a spin-off of The Alexander, which featured gin. Because of its smoothness, it is sometimes referred to as a Milk Shake.

1 ½ cups vanilla ice cream, softened
¼ cup French brandy
¼ cup crème de cacao
freshly grated nutmeg
Combine ice cream, brandy and crème de cacao in a blender and process until smooth. Pour into two chilled stemmed glasses. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
