Brandy, Star of Pop Culture: Television Series
Brandy in Mad Men
The acclaimed series set in the "wonderful" world of advertising is often praised for its cinematography and historical authenticity in depicting the life of a 1960's advertising agency. It's also credited with another success: granting Don Drapper's charisma to the brandy Alexander, enjoyed by Peggy Olson during the 11th e episode of the first season. A game changer for bringing this cocktail back into the limelight !
Brandy in Peaky Blinders
In this other cult series, the Shelby family and its associates often drink brandy (and other spirits) as they navigate the criminal world of Birmingham, England. Complex characters, anachronistic soundtrack, and cat-and-mouse games with Winston Churchill's police have made Peaky Blinders a phenomenon.
Brandy in Gilmore Girls
Gilmore Girls is a long-running American series, with 153 episodes of 42 minutes each and multiple characters. Among them, Emily and Richard Gilmore, Lorelai's parents, have been married for 35 years after studying together at the prestigious Yale University. Wealthy and refined... what could they possibly enjoy: brandy obviously, their signature drink !
Le brandy de Downton Abbey
The British drama spans six seasons (2010 - 2015) and revolves around the intertwined lives of aristocrats and their servants in a Yorkshire castle. Undoubtedly, brandy served with much wit and aso typical British sense of humour during dinners has contributed to making the series a cult favorite in the United States.
