How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. This drink will use Cognac, a French distilled spirit made of 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.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. Add enough cold tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
For our Brandy Alexander Cocktail, we're going to combine Cognac and simple syrup together. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. After shaking vigorously for 10 secs, strain the mixture into a chilled martini. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
