How To
How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. Cognac is available at specialty liquor shops and online retailers like Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Allow to rest 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.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for 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. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
