The Brandy Daisy is a classic sour-style cocktail that balances bright lemon juice and powdered sugar with the warmth of aged brandy and a hint of raspberry or grenadine syrup. It's a smooth, citrus-forward aperitif or after-dinner drink.

Yes. Cognac, Armagnac, or any quality brandy works, though it will shift the flavor profile slightly. Lower-proof brandies will taste lighter; higher-proof, more robust.
Grenadine is pomegranate-based and more bitter-sweet; raspberry syrup is fruitier and softer. Either works; choose based on flavor preference.
Shake it with ice. The lemon juice and syrup benefit from vigorous mixing and proper dilution.
Mix the dry ingredients and brandy in advance, but add fresh lemon juice and shake with ice just before serving to preserve citrus brightness.
