How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Let it sit overnight. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. After shaking vigorously for 10 secs, strain the mixture into a chilled martini. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
