This vanilla bean-bourbon soda harkens back to an old-fashioned soda fountain: delicious syrup (made with real sugar, not corn syrup) mixed with soda. Even better? It has bourbon in it! To serve, mix one part syrup with two parts soda over ice. Add a squeeze of orange juice and garnish with the orange wedge.
