Which should you pick?
The Brandy Alexander and Corpse Reviver No. 1 share a very similar flavor profile — both are sweet and approachable and boozy and spirit-forward. The deciding factor here is the base spirit (brandy vs. brandy) and how each is served, so go with whichever spirit appeals to you more.
