Cut brandy

Brandy is a type of alcohol that is made from grapes. Cut brandy is when you take that alcohol and mix it with something else to make it less strong. It's kind of like when your parents mix your juice with water to make it less sweet and sugary. The difference is, they use water, and when people make cut brandy, they use other kinds of alcohol, like water, wine, or even another type of liquor. This makes the brandy taste different and usually not as strong, so you can enjoy it without feeling too woozy.
