Our new favorite cocktail!
1/4 cup Bourbon (we like Maker's Mark)
2 Tbl. fresh lemon juice
2 Tbl. vanilla syrup (recipe below)
1 tsp. grenadine
Mix the bourbon, lemon juice, and vanilla syrup in a cocktail shaker.
Add 2 handfulls or so crushed ice and shake well.
Pour into an old fashioned/lowball glass, then drizzle the grenadine through the drink.
Top with a maraschino cherry if you're feeling fancy.

Vanilla Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 Tbl. vanilla extract
Make as you would a regular simple syrup - mix in a small saucepan, heat until completely combined and sugar is no longer granular. Cool.
