Using a mild gin liked Hendrick’s, the Alexander’s Sister cocktail tastes like Girl Scout Thin Mints® Cookies. We used clear Creme de Menthe because it was on hand; using green would make this a beautiful Christmas cocktail. We like both mint and chocolate so it was a toss-up as far as preference between the Gin Alexander and Alexander’s Sister for us.
