While pairing alcohol with food isn't a new idea, it can bring out the best in a dish. Although wine is the obvious choice to pair with food, there are other drinks that you can use as a complement or enhance a meal's flavour.
In recent years, there has been a trend to use alcohol to add a different dimension to cocktails and food. Infusing alcoholic beverages into savory dishes can be a fun and creative way to use them and can make for some delicious meals that are both healthy and enjoyable.
It is usually gin that's used, but vodka will also do. These drinks have a range of different flavours and can be combined with various foods to create some fantastic dishes that will leave you wanting more.

How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar that is dissolved in water. One cup of granulated white Sugar will be dissolved in a small saucepan. Heat on medium. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves (about five minutes). You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. 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 will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Combine the Cognac with simple syrup in a shaker. Fill it half-way 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.
