How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll 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 is sugar that is dissolved in water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Allow to rest overnight. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. Stir vigorously for 10 second, then strain into a chilled martini. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
