Limoncello Lavender and Vanilla Cream Liqueur image

I came up with this variation of this limoncello which is lusciously creamy with the essence of vanilla and lavender. After making Kim's Recipe #296066. This is to be sipped icy cold on a hot summers day with your eye closed. Relax Ahhhhh! Making it a comforting excellent aperitif. Served chilled from the freezer in a frosted liqueur glass. Keep refrigerated with in 1 month of freezer 6 months. Try to use 100-proof vodka, which has less flavor than a lower proof one. Also the high alcohol level will ensure that the limoncello will not turn to ice in the freezer.

This liqueur is a little too strong for me, but it's still very good. I'll probably water it down a bit before serving it.

I'm not a big fan of lavender, but I actually really enjoyed this liqueur. The lemon and vanilla flavors really balance out the lavender.
