Quirky Frangelico fact!

Did you know Frangelico gets its unique character from wild Italian hazelnuts harvested only in the Piedmont region? This quirky liqueur legend is said to have begun with monks in the 1600s, whose secret recipe was inspired by the nutty woods around them. Nowadays, this delightful spirit adds a fun twist to cocktails, with its rich nutty flavor blending seamlessly in everything from espresso martinis to a classic Frangelico on the rocks with a lemon twist!

Top bartender tip

"Serving your cocktail in a chilled glass can greatly enhance its enjoyment, keeping it at the optimal temperature for longer. Simply fill the glass with ice and water to chill it while you prepare your drink, and then dump it out just before straining your cocktail into the glass. This is especially important for stirred, spirit-forward drinks like Martinis or Manhattans."

A quick history lesson

Frangelico is a delightful hazelnut liqueur with roots tracing back over 300 years to the Italian Piedmont region. Named after a 17th-century hermit monk, Fra' Angelico, who was said to have created liqueurs from local ingredients, it captures the essence of Italian tradition and craftsmanship. Distinguished by its monk-shaped bottle, tied with a rope belt, Frangelico has evolved from a monastic secret to a beloved cocktail staple. Its sweet, nutty profile and harmonious blend of hazelnuts, cocoa, berries, and vanilla make it a versatile addition to cocktails, perfect for both classic concoctions and modern mixology innovations.
