Default Christmas cake

I have heard that it is good to add some brandy to a home baked
Christmas cake. What is the best to use?
Thanks

use any brandy that is suitable for drinking, DO NOT USE cooking
brandy (or rum) as it is horrid.

You can use modestly priced cognac or, as I do when I have it, Cointreau or
Grand Marnier.
Feed the cake weekly between now and Xmas.
