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.
If you like full bodied Italian style reds particularly Amarone then this is a really good everyday drinking alternative. Especially suited for winter meals or perhaps bbq lamb in summer. I’ve just finished ordering some more.
A great range to select from but scored 4 for a 2 day delivery in AKL & challenges in processing my order online.
