This vanilla-scented simple syrup, made from cane sugar syrup infused with just a hint of vanilla, is the universal bar mixer, and an essential ingredient for pastry chefs, who brush it on cake layers for extra moistness.

• Cream-colored syrup is a key ingredient in party cocktails, including fizzes, lime rickeys, and juleps.
• Flavor with liqueur (or not), and brush on cake or fruitcake.
• Use to sweeten tea and coffee (iced or hot), too.
• From Sonoma Syrup Company, a small California company producing handcrafted American specialty syrups.
• 25.4-fl.-ounce bottle.
