How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into 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). Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Allow to rest overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. 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. Combine the Cognac with simple syrup in a shaker. Fill it half-way with ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
