The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into 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 tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Allow to rest overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. You can store the liquid in your fridge for up 3 weeks in an airtight glass container.

Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
