How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. This drink will use Cognac, a French distilled spirit made of fermented grapes. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over 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 sit for at least two hours. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. You can store the liquid in your fridge for up 3 weeks in an airtight glass container.
To make the Brandy Alexander Cocktail, combine Cognac and simple sugar. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
