🥃 Classic Brandy Cocktail: A Fresh Twist with Spanish Elegance

Let’s be honest... sometimes you want a drink that doesn’t scream “party” —you want something that whispers class. That’s exactly what this classic brandy cocktail brings to the table. It’s not flashy, but it has presence.

Today I’m going to show you how to prepare a simple but truly elegant cocktail featuring Brandy Tres Cepas, a Spanish spirit that brings a touch of warmth and charm to every sip.

What’s Special About This Classic Cocktail?

Have you ever tasted something and thought, “Wow… this is wonderful”? That’s what this drink does. It blends lemony brightness, just enough sweetness, and that cozy depth only a good brandy can offer.

And the star? Brandy Tres Cepas. Smooth. Layered. Almost poetic. Think vanilla, toasted oak, a bit of dried fruit… it’s like autumn in a glass.

Ingredients

You don’t need a large cocktail equipment or 20 ingredients. Just a few essentials:

60 ml Brandy Tres Cepas
30 ml fresh lemon juice (natural)
20 ml simple syrup (equal parts sugar + water, dissolved)
Ice cubes
Lemon wheel or maraschino cherry (totally optional)

🧊 Let’s Make It

Chill the shaker.

Seriously—fill it with ice and let it cool for a second. It makes a difference.

Add your ingredients.

Pour in the brandy, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Simple as that.

Shake like you mean it.

About 10 seconds should do it. You want it chilled and a little foamy.

Strain it into a glass.

Use a lowball glass with fresh ice.

Garnish (optional).

A lemon wheel or a cherry on top adds that finishing touch.

When Should You Enjoy It?

Let me put it this way: it’s perfect...

After a nice dinner, when you’re full.
On a quiet evening, with your favorite playlist in the background.
At a small gathering where people talk.
Or… on a random Tuesday, just because you deserve it.

This drink doesn’t need an occasion. It is the occasion.

❓ Everything You Might Be Wondering

1. Can I use another brandy?

Sure. But Tres Cepas brings a certain richness and personality.

2. Is it sweet?

Not overly. The lemon cuts through just enough to balance the syrup and brandy.

3. No shaker—can I still make it?

Of course. A tightly sealed mason jar does the trick. Been there.

4. Can I add egg white like in a whiskey sour?

You can, and it makes it creamier. Just remember to dry shake first.
