FAQ
Why is a cocktail sometimes called "a martini?"
When Americans were drinking more alcohol in the 1900s, they called every drink that contained alcohol "martini". The term eventually became associated with a specific type of martini - one made with dry vermouth instead of sweet vermouth.
What is a shaker?
A shaker allows you to combine multiple ingredients. The shaker also comes with a strainer that allows you to strain the mixture. The lid prevents unwanted smells from escape while the shaker is being used.
How big is an ice cube tray?
You'll need either a 6 x 8-inch or a 5 x 7-inch ice cube tray.
How do you keep your drinks cold?
Put them in the freezer for 20 minutes. They will quickly chill without diluting your drink.
How do I know if a drink is strong?
The alcohol in strong drinks is higher than that of weaker drinks. Proportions are used to measure the alcohol content of a drink. One proof equals one percent alcohol for each 100g grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle of wine would have ten proofs and a 16-ounce bottle would have sixteen. beer would be 13proofs and a 40oz. bottle of scotch would be 45 proofs.
What's the most popular mix drink?
Mixed drinks with alcohol and caffeine are the most popular. This means that they contain both stimulants and depressants.
Alcohol stimulates our central nervous system. This makes us more energetic. Caffeine increases energy levels, and can help you focus. These two substances have similar benefits and are often combined.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Let stand overnight. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way 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.
