Method

How to make Brandy Lift

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill a small 8-ounce fizz or Collins glass and keep the soda water very cold.

  2. 02

    Measure the brandy, Bénédictine-style herbal liqueur, orgeat, and heavy cream into a shaker; keep the soda water aside.

  3. 03

    Add solid ice and shake hard for 10–15 seconds until fully chilled and lightly aerated.

  4. 04

    Double-strain into the chilled glass so no ice fragments interrupt the foam.

  5. 05

    Slowly paddle in cold soda water with a bar spoon until the rising foam approaches the rim.

  6. 06

    Rest for 15 seconds, add one final slow splash of soda to lift the foam, and serve without garnish.
