How To
How to make the Best Brandy Alex Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step to making a cocktail recipe. For this drink, we're going to use Cognac, which is a French distilled spirit made from fermented grapes. It is clear in most cases, but it can sometimes be aged in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, we will add simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Allow to rest overnight. Strain out the sugar crystals through cheesecloth and discard them. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
