How To
How To Make The Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding the right ingredients. 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, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Let sit overnight. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
For our Brandy Alexander Cocktail, we're going to combine Cognac and simple syrup together. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
