Superstorm Vanilla Bourbon Champagne Cocktail

1. 1

   Cut the vanilla beans into 1/2-inch pieces and ground in a sprice mill until powdered.

2. 2

   Mix together all ingredients. Scrape into a parchment-lined 8-inch pan to about a 1/2-inch depth. Use a knife to score into 1/2-inch cubes. Bake for 90 minutes at 275u00b0F. Remove and let cool. Remove sugar and break into cubes.

3. 3

   Alternatively, take an already-made sugar cube and put a couple wee drops of pure vanilla extract on it.

4. 4

   Drop a vanilla sugar cube into a chilled champagne flute. Add a shot of bourbon and fill the glass with champagne or prosecco. Garnish with a split vanilla bean. Cheers!
