How To
How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it 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 simply means sugar dissolved with water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. 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.
To make the Brandy Alexander Cocktail, combine Cognac and simple sugar. 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. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
