What are brandy cocktails? Brandy cocktails are built around the rich, fruit-forward character of distilled wine and other fruit spirits, with flavors that can range from bright and floral to deep, warming, and oaky. From spirit-forward classics like the Sazerac and Brandy Old Fashioned to citrusy favorites like the Sidecar, brandy pairs especially well with citrus, bitters, spices, fruit, and liqueurs. Whether made with traditional brandy, Cognac, Calvados, or another style, brandy cocktails offer plenty of room for both timeless recipes and creative experimentation.
