Given the versatility and popularity of softly fragrant, sweet vanilla, Bob was surprised that a vanilla bitters product didn’t exist already and, so, set out to create one resulting in a liquid that offers an inimitable smoky vanilla flavour.
Combine bitters and orange peel with a splash of water to the bottom of a rocks glass. Use a muddler (or the bottom of a wooden spoon) to crush the sugar with the peel until the sugar has dissolved. Add ice cubes (1 large cube is best, if you have it!), and pour the bourbon over the ice into the glass. Stir for a few seconds, then garnish with a vanilla bean or wedge of orange.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
