How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding the right ingredients. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we will 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 completely dissolves (about five minutes). To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. 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.
To make the Brandy Alexander Cocktail, combine Cognac and simple sugar. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
