How To
How To Make The Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding the right ingredients. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves (about five minutes). To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Let stand overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. 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. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Serve the Brandy Alexander with soda water. Garnish with a lemon twist.
