  4. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.
Recipe Notes

This is a very simple cocktail, and the quality of the ingredients you choose will be noticeable. If possible, try using a nice cognac over a bottom-shelf brandy. Also, if you prefer an even sweeter, creamier drink, try using cream instead of half and half.
