How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into 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. Let sit overnight. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. You can store the liquid in your fridge for up 3 weeks in an airtight glass container.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
