The exact origin of the Alexander cocktail remains unclear and shrouded in mystery. What is certain is that this cocktail was created in the early years of the 20th century. According to a popular version of the story, the Alexander cocktail was invented by a bartender named Henry McElhone at the Bar Hôtel de Paris in New York City, around 1910. McElhone, a very famous bartender at the time, created this recipe for a special event: a reception for a client who was celebrating a personal occasion.
