I love sweet drinks but this one may be a bit too sweet. I thought of adding some lemon juice but then I’d have a honey sweetened French 75. I’ll make it again but only when I’m imbibing alone. No one else I know likes them this sweet.

I found 1/2 tsp to be an overwhelming amount of vanilla extract, and cut it back to 2 dashes.
