How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding 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. Cognac is available at specialty liquor shops and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we will add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Allow to rest overnight. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
