Last week we went on a little breakfast and shopping foray into the city.  There’s a neat little spice store where I like to buy chipotle powder.  While I was perusing the store I came upon some vanilla sugar.  I hear you can make it by putting a vanilla bean in some sugar and whatever, I’m too lazy busy for that right now.  I first tried the vanilla sugar on some strawberries that come from a local farm near me that are the best strawberries ever and they were divine.  So of course I needed to make a cocktail with this concoction.  I had some leftover strawberry rhubarb simple syrup from my bourbon smash and the vanilla sugar coated the rim of the glass.  I added a splash of lime juice so that it wasn’t too sickeningly sweet.  I got all fancy pants taking pictures and added the twist of lime rind and a piece of the rhubarb stalk and it’s just overkill.  Kind of reminds me of a stalk of celery in a bloody mary but in a really stupid way. Oh well next time I’ll just add the strawberry…or maybe a vodka soaked strawberry!!
