How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step to making a cocktail recipe. For this drink, we're going to use Cognac, which is a French distilled spirit made from fermented grapes. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar that is dissolved in water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Allow to rest overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
