Review

Slightly creamy consistency, this tangy lemon drink is indeed reminiscent of the eponymous dessert.

I swapped out the sugar syrup and added 10ml Licor 43 for an added vanilla note - lovely!

That I like the sound of. I'll give it a go 😉!

In my usual spirit of invention, i.e. what I had in the cupboard, I substituted the lemon juice for limoncello. Give it a try it was awesome.

I wonder if I shake Irish cream with lemon juice, won't it be curdled up like in a shot of cement mixer? I've read that cream reacts to citric acid that way...

If you add the lemon juice last, immediately before you shake, then there should be no problem with curdling.
