The Frangelico Sour is a nutty twist on the sour family, built around Frangelico’s hazelnut liqueur and sharpened with bright citrus. It sits in the same broad tradition as other spirit-and-citrus sours, but rather than leaning on a base spirit like whiskey or gin, you’ll find the liqueur itself takes centre stage, giving the drink a dessert-leaning character while still keeping that classic sweet-tart structure.

On the palate, Frangelico brings a rich hazelnut sweetness that meets a firm, zesty hit from lemon juice, while the lime juice adds an extra edge of tang and lift. The egg white ties it all together, softening the citrus bite and giving you a smooth, rounded texture that makes the nutty notes feel fuller and more integrated from first sip to finish.

Serve it in a cocktail glass when you want something that drinks like a treat but still feels crisp and refreshing. You’ll enjoy this if you like sours with a creamy mouthfeel and a pronounced citrus snap, or if you’re after an after-dinner cocktail that isn’t heavy, yet still satisfies a sweet tooth.

FAQ's

Ingredient specifics icon

What is Frangelico?

Frangelico is a hazelnut and herb-flavored liqueur from Italy. It has a rich, sweet flavor with hints of vanilla and dark chocolate, making it a popular choice for crafting various cocktails, including the Frangelico Sour.

Preparation techniques icon

Why is an egg white used in the Frangelico Sour?

An egg white is used in the Frangelico Sour to create a frothy, creamy texture and to soften the sharpness of the citrus ingredients. When shaken vigorously, the egg white emulsifies, adding a silky smooth finish and a visually appealing froth on top of the drink.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve a Frangelico Sour?

The Frangelico Sour is best served in a chilled cocktail glass. Optionally, garnishing with a slice of lime or lemon can add a decorative touch and a slight zest, enhancing the overall drinking experience.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of a Frangelico Sour compare to other cocktails?

With an alcohol content of 6.92%, the Frangelico Sour falls on the lower end of the spectrum compared to many classic cocktails. It is relatively milder, making it suitable for those who prefer drinks that are not too strong but still enjoy a noticeable alcoholic warmth.

Customization ideas icon

Can the Frangelico Sour be customized for someone who doesn't like eggs?

Yes, for those who prefer to avoid eggs, aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) can be a vegan-friendly alternative to achieve a similar frothy texture. Additionally, substituting or adding other liqueurs can customize the flavor profile according to personal preferences.
