Ingredient: brandy
What it is: BrandyBrandy (from brandywine, derived from Dutch brandewijn—"burnt wine") is a spirit produced by distilling wine, the wine having first been produced by fermenting grapes. Brandy generally contains 35%–60% alcohol by volume and is typically taken as an after-dinner drink. While some brandies are aged in wooden casks, most are colored with caramel coloring to imitate the effect of such aging.
Fill 3/4 of glass with fine ice; stir up well with a spoon, strain it into the glass, dress with a little fruit, and serve. (See Illustration, Plate No. 5.)
