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. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we will 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 the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Allow to rest overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
To make the Brandy Alexander Cocktail, combine Cognac and simple sugar. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with 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. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
