A Brandy Alexander is a brandy-based dessert cocktail consisting of cognac, crème de cacao, and cream, that became popular during the early 20th century. It is a variation of an earlier, gin-based cocktail called simply an Alexander.

The Brandy Alexander featured in The Big Bang Theory TV show alongside the Grasshopper as favourites of the character Raj.
