1 cup brand
2/3 cup creme de cacao
1/2 cup hazelnut liqueur
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality brandy. The better the brandy, the better the brandy ice will be. Look for a brandy that is at least 80 proof and has a good flavor profile. Some good choices include cognac, Armagnac, and Calvados.
  • Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit will give your brandy ice a more vibrant flavor. If you can't find fresh fruit, you can use frozen fruit, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Add some sweetness. A little bit of sugar or honey will help to balance out the tartness of the fruit and the brandy. You can also use flavored syrups, such as vanilla or almond syrup.
  • Freeze the brandy ice in a mold. This will help to create uniform pieces of brandy ice that are easy to serve. You can use a variety of molds, such as ice cube trays, popsicle molds, or even muffin tins.
  • Serve the brandy ice immediately. Brandy ice is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store it, be sure to keep it in the freezer until you're ready to serve.
