Notes
The Vanilla Old Fashioned is a twist on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail, adding a subtle hint of vanilla sweetness to complement the rich and bold flavors of the whiskey. The result is a well-balanced and aromatic drink. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less Vanilla Syrup to suit your taste.
