Yeah that could definitely work. I think the sweetness the vanilla would add would balance this really well

NON_ALCOHOLIC_VARIATIONS

Yes, for a non-alcoholic variation, replace the vodka with soda water or a non-alcoholic spirit, and use a raspberry syrup instead of raspberry liqueur. Adjust the sweet and sour balance with lemon juice and simple syrup as needed.

PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES

What's the best way to achieve a well-balanced Chambord Vodka Sour?
