Frangelico Cocktails
4 drinks with this bottle, from the easy ones up.
What goes with Frangelico?
Coffee, then hot chocolate. Hazelnut and coffee is a natural match, and Frangelico adds the sugar too. Baileys makes a Nutty Irishman. Lemon juice and soda make a surprisingly fresh long drink, because the sharp citrus cuts the sweetness.
What does it taste like?
Toasted hazelnut, vanilla and a touch of chocolate, like a melted hazelnut truffle.
Which bottle should I buy?
Frangelico is the go-to hazelnut liqueur, and it's easy to spot in its monk-shaped bottle.
Goes well with
An Italian hazelnut liqueur from Piedmont, made with toasted Tonda Gentile hazelnuts, cocoa and vanilla. It's about 20% ABV. Amaretto brings a similar nutty sweetness, or use hazelnut syrup with a splash of vodka.
Questions
What do you mix Frangelico with?
Coffee, hot chocolate and Baileys are the classics. Lemon juice and soda work too if you want it long and less sweet.
Is Frangelico the same as amaretto?
No. Frangelico is hazelnut, and amaretto tastes of almond. They swap in a pinch, but the drink will taste different.
Does Frangelico contain nuts?
Yes. It's made with hazelnuts, so skip it if you have a nut allergy.
