How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding 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 purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar that is dissolved in water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves (about five minutes). Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Allow to rest overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. Stir vigorously for 10 second, then strain into a chilled martini. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
