Bartender Devanie Powell adds the special ingredient, the vanilla ice cream. This helps to give the drink a smooth and creamy taste.

A dessert drink with a subtle taste of alcohol is characteristic of the Brandy Ambrose, a drink of choice for many at Cuddy'z Restaurant and Bar in New Kingston. Just like another top-seller, the mud wrestler (similar to the mud slide), the Brandy Ambrose is smooth and creamy in taste, which apparently is a popular choice for women.

Bartender Devanie Powell says everyone can drink this special concoction, even those who have a low tolerance for alcohol. "It is not too strong and people tend to like the ice-cream flavour and liqueur used to make the drink."

Before the drink is poured, the glass is coated with chocolate syrup, giving it that extra appeal.

Brandy is one of the vital ingredients used in this drink.
