How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step to making a cocktail recipe. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. Cognac is available at specialty liquor shops and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with 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 sugar crystals by using 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. Combine the Cognac with simple syrup in a shaker. Fill it half-way with ice cubes. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
