Cocktails with Vanilla sugar
Vanilla sugar is granulated sugar flavored with vanilla, from beans or extract.
How it's used
It adds sugar and vanilla in one step: shaken straight into the drink, pressed onto a rim, or dissolved into a syrup. Fine grains usually dissolve in a hard shake; coarse ones often won't.
Substitutes for Vanilla sugar
Great for cold shaken mixtures. Pour about 5.5 ml of syrup for every barspoon of dry sugar.
Pour 5 ml of 2:1 syrup per required barspoon of sugar and add a drop of vanilla extract.
Plain sugar
Use the same amount and add a drop of vanilla extract.
Vanillin sugar
About twice as strong. Use half the amount and make up the sweetness with plain sugar. It is hard to tell apart once mixed.
Storage
Sealed and dry, it keeps for years. Moisture makes it cake, so keep the jar tightly closed.
