When The Modernist opened in 2017, cocktail lovers around San Antonio knew they were in for a treat. Here was one of the area’s most creative bartenders, Olaf Harmel, opening a bespoke cocktail bar near the heart of downtown.
The result is commitment to both service and quality cocktails and that’s what makes each experience at The Modernist so unique. You’ll see that reflected in The Modernist’s Kinsman Brandy Alexander, which blends a plethora of ingredients to create a fabulous sipper.
For this decadent Rakia Alexander, Olaf blends Kinsman with heavy cream, vanilla ice cream, amaretto, dark Crème de cacao, Cynar for earthiness, a few drops of cold brew coffee and a hint of simple syrup to produce a balanced and creamy cocktail. It’s sweet without being cloying and the Kinsman’s apricot backbone shines through.
Head to The Modernist before December 31 to enjoy a Rakia Alexander of your own!
