In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugars fully dissolve.
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup starts to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Mix until the butter is completely melted and the syrup is smooth.
Allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
