Several of the mocktail recipes use kombucha for added flavor. Kombucha, a bubbly fermented beverage, is perfect for adding some fizz to your drink. Kombucha adds an extra punch to any drink when it is combined with the sweeteners and citrus in the mocktail.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain out the sugar crystals through cheesecloth and discard them. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
