Brandy Sangaree Cocktail

Looking for an easy-to-make, delicious cocktail perfect for any occasion? Look no further than the classic Brandy Sangaree. This timeless drink is made with brandy, vermouth, and a dash of simple syrup. Plus, it’s simple to make so you can be sipping in no time! Let’s get started.

Ingredients Needed

  • 2 ounces brandy
  • 1/2 ounce dry vermouth
  • 1 teaspoon simple syrup (or honey)
  • 2 dashes bitters (optional)
  • Slices of orange or lemon (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients—except garnish—to a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker starts to frost over.
  2. Strain into glass full of fresh ice cubes.                                               
  3. Garnish with slices of orange or lemon. Enjoy! 

For an extra special touch, try adding a few dashes of bitters before shaking your cocktail ingredients together; this will give your Brandy Sangaree some extra depth and flavor complexity. If you don't have bitters on hand, simply omit them from the recipe; it's still delicious without them!

And if you'd like to cut back on sugar, swap out the simple syrup for honey instead; it will add a subtle sweetness without being overpowering.

With just a few ingredients and minimal effort required, it's hard to go wrong with this timeless favorite. Cheers!
