How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, we will add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves (about five minutes). You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Let it sit overnight. Strain out the sugar crystals through cheesecloth and discard them. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
To make the Brandy Alexander Cocktail, combine Cognac and simple sugar. Combine the Cognac with simple syrup in a shaker. Fill it half-way with ice cubes. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
