Instructions
Mix Vanilla Syrup
Stir the vanilla bean paste into the vanilla simple syrup until well combined. This doubles down on the vanilla flavor and adds beautiful specks throughout the drink.
Assemble the Drink
Fill two tall glasses with ice. Divide the vanilla syrup mixture between the glasses then pour sparkling water slowly over the ice to retain carbonation.
Add Cream and Serve
Drizzle one tablespoon of heavy cream into each glass over the back of a spoon for a beautiful float effect. Stir lightly at the bottom only and serve immediately.
