Frangelico Liqueur (70cl, 20%)

Frangelico is a hazelnut liqueur made in Piedmont from roasted Italian hazelnuts. The hazelnuts are steeped in alcohol and water, then distilled; the resulting hazelnut distillate is blended with extracts and distillates of cocoa, vanilla and roasted coffee, plus other flavourings, alcohol, sugar and water. The liqueur rests for six to eight weeks in tanks before bottling. It is clear and pale golden, and can be enjoyed neat, chilled or over ice, with a splash of lime or soda, or in cocktails. The nose shows intense hazelnut aromas. The palate has a full texture, with distinct yet fine hazelnut flavour accompanied by vanilla and dark chocolate. The finish is long, soft and fragrant.
