How To
How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. One cup of granulated white Sugar will be dissolved in a small saucepan. Heat on medium. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain out the sugar crystals through cheesecloth and discard them. You can store the liquid in your fridge for up 3 weeks in an airtight glass container.
Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. Combine the Cognac with simple syrup in a shaker. Fill it half-way with ice cubes. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Serve the Brandy Alexander with soda water. Garnish with a lemon twist.
