Dandy brandy cocktails
From the Corpse Reviver No. 1 and Sidecar to classic Champagne cocktails, many iconic drinks call for brandy. You can give many more cocktail recipes a fresh twist by substituting brandy for other spirits. Its spicy and caramelly characteristics add an immediate flavour burst, and since many brandies are slightly sweetened, it helps create a smooth and rich cocktail texture. In fact, you may not have to add simple syrup, sugar or other sweeteners to create a balanced drink, so leave them out initially and taste as you mix anything from a Brandy Sour to these famous cocktails.
