How To
How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. This drink will use Cognac, a French distilled spirit made of fermented grapes. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, 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. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Add enough cold tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Let it sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. You can store the liquid in your fridge for up 3 weeks in an airtight glass container.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
