Grade-A Madagascar
Vanilla Beans
Madagascar Vanilla Beans have a strong, deep, rich, vanilla aroma. They are highly sought after because the region they are grown in is known to produce the best quality beans. We macerate these beans in a variety of spirits for a minimum of one year to create luxurious extracts for our syrups.
1. Combine 1.25 cups filtered water (300g) and 1.25 cups Stella Sugar (315g) into a microwave safe container.
2. Microwave for 3 minutes. Stir and microwave for an additional 30 seconds; stir.
3 Allow the simple syrup to cool, then add the entire bottle of extract to the simple syrup.
4. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
Our vanilla syrups are the perfect flavor enhancer and sweetener for our wellness lattes, but you can also use them in your favorite coffee or espresso beverage. While the grey goose extract is perfect for baking, we recommend using the other varieties for things like whipped cream or meringue, where the notes of the spirits and vanilla can fully express their flavors without being lost in a more complex recipe.
GREY GOOSE VODKA
Vodka is generally used to make extracts because it is flavorless. Some might say that because it’s flavorless, it shouldn’t matter what kind of vodka you use. Connoisseurs believe that there’s a noticeable difference in taste between a vanilla bean extract that’s been macerated in a 5-times distilled vodka and those which had not. Grey Goose is a top shelf vodka, and it proves to make a top-shelf vanilla bean extract.
E&J V.S.O.P.
E&J V.S.O.P has sweet, smoky, smooth and natural vanilla scents. It produces one of the most rich and sweet vanilla extracts.
WOODFORD RESERVE STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY
Woodford Reserve bourbon smells of dark and smoky undertones, and sweetness due to being corn based. You can taste caramel, honey and vanilla all within the spirit itself.
KIRK & SWEENEY GRAND RESERVA RUM
Pure, clean, rich and sweet. Stored in a sherry casket, this rum yields a taste of caramelized sugar, honey and vanilla.
Clase Azul REposado Tequila
While most tequilas are known for their powerful agave kick, this tequila is soft and creamy, with natural hints of caramel, honey and orange. So much so that when drinking this tequila you don’t follow it with a lime and salt in traditional tequila fashion. Instead, this is best paired with an orange slice with sugar and cinnamon.
