Vanilla Syrup Cocktail Recipes

5 of the best classic cocktail recipes with a vanilla syrup twist

Vanilla syrup has to be one of our favourite flavoured syrups. It's a fabulous way to add that sumptuously rich, mellow and fragrant vanilla flavour, which we all love in baking recipes that use vanilla extract, paste or vanilla beans, to your favourite gin cocktails.

If you happen to frequent some the more popular coffee shops you may already know the delights that can be found when vanilla syrup is used in tasty drinks like an iced coffee (check out the Vanilla Espresso Martini below if coffee is your thing).

That same joy can be found when vanilla syrup is used for gin cocktails. With more flavour than your average simple syrup, which is usually made with sugar and water, the sweet vanilla tones of vanilla syrup are a delicious match for those juniper berry and citrus notes we love in a classic London Dry Gin.
