Lavender Liqueur Recipe - Liqueur de Lavande Recette
🪻This enchanting Provence-inspired lavender liqueur is sweet and fragrant. With lavender blooms (fresh from your garden and/or dried), vanilla bean, & lemon zest. It's summer in a bottle, & so easy!
Lavender is a gorgeously aromatic herb with stunning violet flowers and an intoxicatingly captivating fragrance. It's easy and so rewarding to capture this delightful floral aroma into a sweet homemade lavender liqueur (liqueur de lavande in France) that you can enjoy all year. It’s perfect as an apéritif, digestif (after-dinner drink), or in cocktails.
This luxurious, naturally vegan drink has been made in Provence for generations, and it's so fulfilling to make and enjoy your own homemade version. You can use lavender blossoms from your garden, dried culinary-grade blossoms that you can buy, or a combination of the two. It's a really special fragrant and botanical drink that’s easy to make. 🌱
Plus, I'm hoping this recipe and the lavender photos from my garden will convince you to grow your own. It's so worth it! Homemade lavender liqueur is sweet and floral, lush and botanical, and captures the spirit of summer in a glass.

You don’t say how alcoholic it is, I confess I haven’t checked the full recipe. I had Lavender ice cream once in Avignon, it’s an acquired taste I would think, nice but not as good as liquorice.
A friend in Chaumont, near Dijon used to make Mirabelle liqueur to a recipe his mother had taught him. It was roughly 70% proof, or the stuff the local government checked was. I have a feeling some of may have been more!
