How To
How To Make The Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as 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 sit for at least two hours. 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. 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. 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.
