    This man is my favorite leisure time spectacle, especially after I get home from my bartending gig. His elegance spices up my night just enough to fall asleep feeling accomplished !
    You better be alive !!!!!!!!!!

    Undoubtedly the best cocktail videos on TH-cam. Chris McMillan's dignity, knowledge, and systematic approach make these excellent primers.

    Another alteration to this recipy is to reduce the amounts of alcohol and substitute ice cream for the cream.. Put this all in a kitchen aid mixer with a the bread hook attachment and then mix.. What you get is a flavored ice cream that you can stack up in and well over the top of the glass. its a beatiful drink.

    It has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. My mom says some days are like that. Even in New Orleans.

    I drink Grasshoppers and Brandy Alexanders at home all the time, I have to add a shot more cream because they can come off quite strong otherwise. I also cant drink without 2-3 dashes of cocoa bitters. MMMmmmmmm....

    I'm pretty sure he's retired, or at least doesn't work at the Library Lounge anymore.

    You didn't rinse the measure cup in between pouring brandy, the noisette liquor and creme de menthe...? Don't the flavors from the previous alcohols mix even a little bit, since a tiny amount might stay in the cup? You should've used three separate measure cups...

    WHAT WHY? Would you use heavy whipping cream?? You aren't making a dessert. FFS use pouring cream
