How To

How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe

The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.

The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Let it sit overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled 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.
