How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander 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. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves (about five minutes). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Let stand overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
For our Brandy Alexander Cocktail, we're going to combine Cognac and simple syrup together. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. After shaking vigorously for 10 secs, strain the mixture into a chilled martini. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
