  • 2 ounces vanilla syrup
  • Ice
  • 4 fresh cherries for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill a mixing glass with ice cubes.

Notes

Make the vanilla syrup ahead by gently heating equal parts sugar and water with a split vanilla bean, then cool and store it in the fridge for up to two weeks. Stir the drink longer if you prefer less dilution. Swap in a cherry-flavored vodka for one ounce if you want a brighter fruit note without changing the overall balance.
