How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. 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 that is dissolved in water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Let sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
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. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
