In a martini shaker add the ice, vanilla, mint, vodka, coconut milk, and agave syrup, and place top on shaker. Shake until well blended. Pour through a strainer into a chilled martini glass, and serve!

*Vanilla Bean Agave Syrup: Combine 1/2 cup boiling water, 1/2 cup agave nectar, one vanilla bean (slit), and stir until agave nectar is dissolved. Let sit until cool, then remove the vanilla bean and pour into a container.  Store in the fridge.
