Use high-quality juices, syrups. Avoid syrups and juices of low quality that contain artificial colors and flavors.

How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves (about five minutes). You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. 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. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with 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.
