Vanilla Caramel Cream Cocktail, an easy drink recipe with vanilla, Bailey’s Irish cream, and caramel.

Vanilla Caramel Cream Cocktail Recipe | SnappyGourmet.comMy recent trip to Atlanta is the trip that just keeps giving! Here’s yet another recipe inspired by my trip to the BlogHer Food Conference and more inspired recipes on the way! Beanilla was a sponsor of one of the parties I attended in Atlanta and they gave everyone several fresh vanilla beans to take home. When my kids got one whiff of these vanilla beans when I got home I had to fight them to get the beans back. They wanted to eat them as-is since they smelled so good! Crazy kids!

But happy to report, I got the beans back and have a few more ideas on how to use the rest of them. But to start off with I really wanted to make a cocktail using the beans. Ok, I’ll admit, I was looking for any reason I could one day to make a cocktail!

I love how you can see the vanilla specks in this drink and the vanilla beans go great with the caramel flavor! You can easily cut this recipe in half for 1 drink if you don’t want to share! :)

I tried drizzling caramel in the glass before I poured the drink in and I think my caramel was too thin and all went to the bottom of the glass!  But it still tasted great!  Cheers!!

    Glad you like it! I have a few more drinks in the works. :) Think I need more summer like cocktails, but this one is definitely good! Fresh vanilla beans and Baileys is definitely a good combo or at least I thought so! :) Thanks again!

    Yay! The cocktail recipe and it looks so yummy! Unfortunately I have no Baileys or vanilla beans right now, so I’ll have to wait to try it. New drink for next time by bff comes over, she can’t have rum and most of my faves have rum, so a good one to try that doesn’t.
