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. It is clear in most cases, but it can sometimes be aged in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we will add simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in 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). To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Allow to rest overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. 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. Fill the rest with simple syrup. Stir vigorously for 10 second, then strain into a chilled martini. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
