Brandy Fix

The ‘fix’ series of cocktails are a combination of base alcohol, citrus and something sweet. They were hugely popular in the 19th Century, but somewhere along the line we all stopped drinking them.

This classic brandy fix is a lovely combination of warming brandy, savoury lemon and sweet sugar. Yellow Chartreuse adds a little medicine. It is like a kiss on Christmas morning.

Another version by Prussian-born American bartender Harry Johnson swaps the yellow Chartreuse for the green variety.

    This Brandy fix drink looks fantastic to me, and I will make this drink when I get home. I am doing some work right now, and until I am done with the work, I can’t do anything else. I need to get the ingredients for this drink, as well.
