Brandon Linthicum, Down on Grayson

Down on Grayson and barkeep Brandon Linthicum are back for another round of the Kinsman Brandy Alexander Tour. And we’re sure glad they are because this year’s take on the classic cocktail is truly special.

The Kinsman Alexander isn’t just any cocktail—it’s a blend of cinnamon simple syrup, Mozart White Chocolate Liqueur, and a generous pour of Courvoisier, paired perfectly with a flourless chocolate cake. That’s right—chocolate lovers, prepare yourselves. You’ve got yourself a dessert-and-drink combo so decadent, you might just wonder if you’ve entered a foodie heaven. And the answer is yes…you definitely have.

A full ounce of Courvoisier adds some oomph to the cocktail and helps balance the velvety sweetness found in the white chocolate liqueur. The cinnamon syrup adds a warm, cozy vibe that’s perfect for those cold nights. If we’ve entered a foodie heaven, then there’s no reason why that heaven can’t be a bit colder, right? A girl can dream, can’t she?

When Brandon isn’t perfecting the Brandy Alexander, he’s probably out enjoying some of his other passions—like snowboarding, or fostering dogs for Southside Strays. His current foster, Sadie, is a sweet yellow lab mix who’s probably living the good life while Brandon shakes up one cocktail at a time.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Brandy Alexander or this is your first rodeo, the Kinsman Alexander promises to take you on a smooth, boozy ride you won’t forget. But like any good thing in life, it’s here for a limited time—so get yourself over to Down on Grayson now through NYE and grab a Kinsman Alexander before it’s gone!
