Chocolate Brandy Alexander

This is a variation of the original Alexander cocktail which was a gin-based cocktail and over time has evolved into the Brandy Alexander. We know you will enjoy our take on this classic cocktail.

The ultimate dessert cocktail - brings together all the intensity and indulgence of cognac, crème de cacao, and cream served in a martini glass laced with chocolate sauce and topped with shaved chocolate and accompanied by Whittakers Dark chocolate nuggets.

Available throughout May at 50 Bistro.

Perfect for cooler evenings, as a dessert cocktail or just because. Best enjoyed with friends.

What our patrons say

“As soon as you walk in you feel the weight on your shoulders lift.”

“Service is excellent with well appointed rooms and perfect location. We even got a free teddy beer to take away which was an unexpected bonus! Its the small things right. Great coffee and rooms were recently renovated, bed was first class.”

“I stayed at the George recently and was impressed with the impeccable service given by all staff members. Friendly, polished and professional, they were a credit to the hotel. The evening meal at the Bistro was excellent, and I was surprised to realise that the hotel does a turn down service - complete with chocolate and "George", a little memento teddy bear to take home (which I did,I just couldn't resist!). It's a wonderful hotel, close to the city, yet set in a very green and peaceful part of town. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again, and plan to next time in a personal capacity with my husband.

“From the moment you enter the hotel the staff could not be more accommodating. The concierge making dinner reservations at a great restaurant in Christchurch. Rooms extremely comfortable - great size. Free car-parking.”
