You can make this amazing Simple Zesty Brandy Cocktail even fresher and zestier by adding more lemon juice to the recipe. Or if you want a sweeter option, you can add a splash of simple sugar syrup to the mix. If you are serving it up in winter, you could opt to leave out the ice for a room-temperature alternative. If you are serving this brandy drink in summer, you could serve it with ice. Just simply fill your glass with ice before pouring in the brandy cocktail mix.
