Our Vanilla Vodka starts with our own original handcrafted small batch vodka; then we add the vanilla magic. Not the kind in plastic bottles with twisty caps you bought at the grocery store, but real vanilla, the kind that floated in the air like a secret whenever my Mom baked. She had this little brown vial she kept in the back of the cupboard. The label was peeling, the glass stained from years of sticky drips. I’d hold the bottle like it might spill dreams, tilt it just-so, and watch a single drop—thick, dark, rich—slip into the bowl. “Just a drop,” she’d warn. “That’s all you need.” That moment always felt like the spell was cast. Everything that came after—whisking, folding, baking—was just waiting for the magic to take hold. Gather some friends, make some memories and create some magic
