How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
