How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. 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 can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Let sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with 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. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. Stir vigorously for 10 second, then strain into a chilled martini. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
