FAQ
What's a shaker?
A shaker is used to combine two or more ingredients. You can strain the mixture using the strainer included with the shaker. The lid helps to prevent any unwanted odors from escaping during shaking.
How can I tell whether a drink is too strong?
Strong drinks have more alcohol than weak drinks. The proof measures the amount of alcohol contained in a drink. One proof equals one part alcohol per 100% pure grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. bottle of wine would be ten proofs, and a 16 oz. beer would have 13 proofs while a 40-ounce bottle would have 38. bottle of scotch would be 45 proofs.
What is the most popular drink that a girl should order at a bar or restaurant?

The old-fashioned was invented by Thomas Handy in 1876. His invention was named after a favorite horse breed he ran on Long Island.

How To
How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. 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 can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. One cup of granulated white Sugar will be dissolved in a small saucepan. Heat on medium. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Let it sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it 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.
