How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step to making a cocktail recipe. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. It is clear in most cases, but it can sometimes be aged in oak barrels. Cognac is available at specialty liquor shops and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Let sit overnight. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest 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.
