How To
How To Make The Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. For this drink, we're going to use Cognac, which is a French distilled spirit made from fermented grapes. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Let 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.
For our Brandy Alexander Cocktail, we're going to combine Cognac and simple syrup together. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
