Ingredient of the week: Vanilla.
Warm, sweet, and intensely aromatic, vanilla adds softness and depth to a cocktail without simply making it sweeter. Its aromatic compounds enhance our perception of sweetness and can mellow the sharpness of alcohol, creating a smoother, more rounded sip. Vanilla pairs especially well with bourbon, rum, coffee, chocolate, and aged spirits, tying contrasting flavors together and leaving a rich, lingering finish.
