This mashup of a Brandy Alexander and an Espresso Martini offers a sweet and creamy hybrid with a spirited kick from Cognac, rich and bittersweet coffee amaro, and a sweet pecan milk that ties everything together. “If you want to get wild, add a shot of espresso as well,” advises Christine Wiseman.
