How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander 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. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we will add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
To make the Brandy Alexander Cocktail, combine Cognac and simple sugar. Combine the Cognac with simple syrup in a shaker. Fill it half-way with ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. Stir vigorously for 10 second, then strain into a chilled martini. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
