Have you got a fresh lemon? add some lemon zest.
A touch of rum , or brandy wouldn't go badly either :)
You can go buy some more.
Do you have sweet liquor in the house? It usually works well. Anything like rum, brandy, lemoncello, khalua. If not, it won't be terrible if you leave it out but a spash of fruit juice will work in a pinch.
Use cinnamon, it'll have a completely different flavor but it will be delicious.
do you have vanilla sugar?
try marsala.
I'm assuming you don't have a vanilla bean to make your own vanilla extract. There is no equivalent for vanilla - it has its own unique, indescribable, je-ne-sais-quoi flavor. Other extracts may be substituted and they will impart their own particular flavor. Jamaican rum, such as Meyers Rum or a good bourbon whiskey can also be substituted. To substitute rum or whiskey add a teaspoon then taste test. Repeat until the taste is satisfactory to you.
