How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. 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 find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, 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. Let sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. 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. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest with simple syrup. Stir vigorously for 10 second, then strain into a chilled martini. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
