Ingredients

• 2 ounces vodka
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
• 1 tablespoon amaretto
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Vanilla sugar, for the glass rim
• 1/2 vanilla bean

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes and shake to chill thoroughly.

Place the vanilla sugar in a shallow bowl or small plate. Moisten the rim of the glass with a little of the cocktail mixture or water and dip the moistened rim into the sugar to coat the edge. Strain the cocktail into the glass.

Using a sharp paring knife, cut the bean lengthwise, leaving it attached on 1 end, so that it can sit on top of the glass rim. Serve chilled.
