How To
How To Make The Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. This drink will use Cognac, a French distilled spirit made of fermented grapes. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar that is dissolved in water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves (about five minutes). You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Let stand overnight. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
For our Brandy Alexander Cocktail, we're going to combine Cognac and simple syrup together. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
