Vanilla Bean Syrup
- Combine sugar, water, and vanilla bean (or extract) in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. If using a whole vanilla bean, remove it before cooling. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Sugar Cookie Martini
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, vanilla bean syrup, and heavy cream to the shaker.
- Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon and garnish with sugar cookie crumbs (optional). Serve immediately.
Notes
For a stronger cinnamon flavor, add a cinnamon stick to the syrup while simmering. Adjust the amount of heavy cream to your liking for a thicker or thinner consistency. You can also rim the glass with sugar for an extra touch.
