How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. For this drink, we're going to use Cognac, which is a French distilled spirit made from fermented grapes. It is clear in most cases, but it can sometimes be aged in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. One cup of granulated white Sugar will be dissolved in a small saucepan. Heat on medium. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Let sit overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest 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.
