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. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Serve the Brandy Alexander with soda water. Garnish with a lemon twist.
