Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur

Frangelico is an artisanal Italian liqueur crafted in Canale in the Piedmont region using local Tonda Gentile hazelnuts. The nuts are toasted, crushed, and distilled, then infused with cocoa, coffee, and vanilla extracts before aging in oak. Rich toasted nut aromas yield to a velvety palate with hints of chocolate and sweet cream. Pour over ice with a lime squeeze (Frangelico & Lime), or stir into hot coffee with cream.

This listing is for the 750 ml size.

Treat the named flavor as an ingredient when choosing a serve. Begin with a small measure over ice, then decide whether to add a mixer or use it in a cocktail. A liqueur can bring sweetness as well as flavor, so keep extra syrup separate until you have tasted the combination. Adding a little at a time gives you more control than building a heavily sweetened drink from the start.

For a mixed drink, try a quarter-ounce as an accent in a recipe you already know, then adjust on the next pour. Citrus, coffee, cream and carbonated mixers behave differently, so choose a recipe suited to the particular liqueur rather than combining everything in one glass. Check the bottle for storage directions, especially for cream-based products. Keep garnishes simple and measure the liqueur so its contribution stays consistent from drink to drink.
