Vanilla Bourbon Champagne

It is a little early in the year but we would like to introduce a cocktail from amateure kitchen at amateurekitchen.tv. The hint of vanilla with the sparkling champagne and the heat of the bourbon down your throat makes this a fun and festive drink which we would highly recommend for the end of year parties such Christmas and New Year. Or for the birthday just around the corner.
