This is from Smuggler's Cove and is a great one for summer. The vanilla brandy really steps to the front as the ice melts.
* Vanilla Brandy: Split a vanilla bean lengthwise, cut into three equal pieces, and add the pieces to a bottle of brandy. Reseal the bottle, and let rest at room temperature for two weeks, before removing the beans and discarding. Add 2 ounces of demerara syrup to the brandy and mix well. Store in the original brandy bottle for a year or more.
