Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Dissolve powdered sugar completely in water before adding brandy to avoid gritty texture
Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink cold longer
Use a single large ice lump rather than small cubes to minimize dilution as the drink sits
Stir gently after combining ingredients to fully incorporate flavors without over-aerating

Substitutions

Powdered sugar → simple syrup (use 1 tsp; removes stirring step)
Old Mr. Boston Five Star Brandy → cognac or armagnac (higher quality, more complex flavor)
