Brandy Cocktails
About brandy
The term brandy means an alcoholic spirit distilled from grape wine or Marc, the residue of the grape press.
Since the fermented juice of apples, cherries, peaches, and other fruits can also be distilled, brandies made from such fruits must be refereed to by the name i.e. cherry brandy apple brandy etc.
Brandy is left to age in oak barrels which give it colour. Caramel is added to give it additional colour when bottled.
