Hello, folks! How are you doing? I hope you all had a great weekend and a good start to this new week.

Also, can you believe it’s August already? I certainly cannot! I have so many fun summer recipes to share with you. So, without further ado, please let me introduce another tasty recipe. This Boozy Lemon Raspberry Milkshake, precisely.

Boozy Lemon Raspberry Milkshake

If you love spiked milkshakes, you will love this Boozy Lemon Raspberry Milkshake recipe. It is a breeze to make and a lot of fun to enjoy.

To make it, you will need the following ingredients:

• Limoncello – a traditional Italian lemon liqueur. It adds flavour and sweetness to this milkshake.
• Vanilla ice cream. Be sure to let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, until it starts to soften, for easy blending. Also, as Limoncello is quite sweet, I recommend going with an ice cream brand that has a lower sugar content.
• Fresh raspberries – add sweetness and tartness, as well as a refreshing element. You can use frozen raspberries, but you need to thaw and drain them first.
• Lemons – add freshness and balance out the sweetness.
• Milk – optional, only if you prefer a thinner milkshake. But you can also add more Limoncello for this purpose.
• Fresh mint, raspberries, and lemon zest – optional, for garnish.

What’s the Flavour Profile of Boozy Lemon Raspberry Milkshake with Limoncello

This Boozy Limoncello Lavender Milkshake with Limoncello is a sweet and luscious drink. It has a lovely fruity and citrusy flavour coming from raspberries and lemons, which is elevated by Limoncello to a different, more complex level. Limoncello is tart and sweet, and depending on the brand, it may have some pleasant bitterness, which I love.

Possible Variations and Additions

• Use gin, white rum, or vodka instead of Limoncello for a less sweet and more naughty flavour.
• Swap ice cream for a lemon sorbet for a more luscious version.
• Add a little vanilla extract or vanilla seeds for a subtle, warm aroma.
• Use other fruits or berries in place of raspberries; strawberries, blueberries, cherries, or peaches all will be great.
