How To

How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe

Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. 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.

Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Let stand overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.

To make the Brandy Alexander Cocktail, combine Cognac and simple sugar. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way 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.
