How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. 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 that is dissolved in water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Let sit overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 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. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
