How To
How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in 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. 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 will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
