Notes

You can use any type of bourbon for this recipe, but a smooth and slightly sweet bourbon will pair best with the vanilla.
To make the drink stronger, increase the amount of bourbon to 3 oz.
If you don't have vanilla syrup, you can make your own by mixing equal parts of sugar and water and adding a splash of vanilla extract.
For a fun twist, use vanilla bean infused cola instead of regular cola.
