Originating in the 19th century, this classic drink was a popular choice among bartenders in the United States. It is believed that the simple yet delicious combination of brandy, lemon juice, sugar, and ginger ale was created as a refreshing option during the hot summer months. The brandy provides a warming and slightly sweet base, while the lemon juice adds a bright and citrusy kick. The ginger ale adds a refreshing effervescence, and a pinch of sugar helps to balance out the tartness of the lemon. Served over ice, the Brandy Cooler is the perfect cocktail for any occasion and is sure to please both brandy lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike.
