Chef’s Secret

Infuse your own vanilla vodka by steeping split vanilla beans in unflavored vodka for 1-2 weeks for superior flavor.

Substitutions

Best Match

Unflavored Vodka + Vanilla Extract

1:1 (Vodka); 1 drop extract per 30ml vodka

Closest flavor match, allowing precise vanilla intensity control.

Vanilla Rum

1:1

Different base spirit but similar vanilla profile, may add a slightly sweeter, richer taste.

Bourbon (Vanilla Notes)

1:1

More complex flavor profile with caramel and oak notes, but can substitute for vanilla in some drinks.

Vanilla Syrup + Unflavored Vodka

Adjust to taste

For sweetness and vanilla flavor, useful if no vanilla extract is available.
