How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step to making a cocktail recipe. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. It is clear in most cases, but it can sometimes be 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 is sugar dissolved into water. One cup of granulated white Sugar will be dissolved in a small saucepan. Heat on medium. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Let sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
For our Brandy Alexander Cocktail, we're going to combine Cognac and simple syrup together. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
