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 purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.

Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Let stand overnight. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. 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. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. 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.
