Vanilla Rum Fizz

Vanilla beans · 1 drink · 10 min

Vanilla syrup: 100 ml sugar, 100 ml water and ½ vanilla bean. Bring to the boil until the sugar dissolves, and let the syrup cool with the bean in it. It keeps for a couple of weeks in the fridge.

Ingredients

• 4 cl dark rum
• 2 cl fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 cl vanilla syrup
• Sparkling water
• Ice cubes and a slice of lemon

Method

1. Shake the rum, lemon juice and vanilla syrup with ice.
2. Strain into a tall glass with fresh ice.
3. Top up with sparkling water and garnish with a slice of lemon.

Tip: use the whole bean. A scraped vanilla bean still has plenty of flavour. Put it in a jar of sugar, and after a couple of weeks you have your own vanilla sugar.
