How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. For this drink, we're going to use Cognac, which is a French distilled spirit made from fermented grapes. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Add enough cold tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Let stand overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
