How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding the right ingredients. For this drink, we're going to use Cognac, which is a French distilled spirit made from fermented grapes. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, we will add 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). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three 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. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Serve the Brandy Alexander with soda water. Garnish with a lemon twist.
