How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step to making a cocktail recipe. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, we will add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Let stand overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
