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. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Let it sit overnight. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the 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.
