How can I tell if a drink has too much alcohol?
A stronger drink contains more alcohol than a weaker one. The proof measures the amount of alcohol contained in a drink. One proof equals one part alcohol per 100% pure grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. bottle of wine would be ten proofs, and a 16 oz. beer would be 13 proofs, and a 40 oz. 45 proofs for a bottle scotch.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander 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. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into 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). You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Let stand overnight. Strain out the sugar crystals through cheesecloth and discard them. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 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. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
