Frangelico co*cktails & Drink Recipes

Are you a lover of anything with hazelnut flavor? Then you’ll go gaga for these Frangelio co*cktails.

It’s a delicious liqueur from Italy with Piedmont hazelnuts and hints of vanilla and cocoa.

Sounds pretty good, huh?

So grab your co*cktail shaker, and let’s make some Frangelio co*cktail recipes!

1. Chocolate Cake Shot

Dessert you can drink? Yes, please!

This decadent and rich shot features Piedmont hazelnut liqueur with the warm sweetness of vanilla vodka.

Plus, whipped cream for an extra dose of decadence!

It’s gorgeously indulgent and a delicious way to sweeten up any celebration.

Ingredients: vanilla vodka, hazelnut liqueur, heavy cream, whipped cream (garnish)

2. Frangelico Iced Coffee

This recipe is for the hazelnut latte fans in the crowd. And it’s such a fun twist on the classic Irish coffee.

Made with Frangelico, Irish cream, more hazelnuts, vanilla, and cocoa, it’s like dessert in a glass.

Use as much or as little espresso as you like, and don’t forget the whipped cream on top!

I also like a dusting of cinnamon for warmth, but that’s optional.

Ingredients: Frangelico liqueur, Irish crème liqueur, black coffee or espresso, milk or cream, ice cubes

3. Hazelnut Frangelico Sour co*cktail

The hazelnut Frangelico sour is definitely unique but so worth a try.

You’ll add Frangelico, egg whites, and lime juice to a co*cktail shaker with ice, then use those muscles to get it nice and foamy.

The blend of lime and hazelnut is zippy and exciting.

Ingredients: Frangelico liqueur, egg whites, lime juice, ice cubes, lime wedge (for garnish)

4. Hazelnut Bourbon Sour

Like the recipe above, this co*cktail pairs nutty Frangelico with citrus. But it also features bourbon and Angostura bitters, making it even more complex.

There’s sweetness in both spirits, so blending bourbon with hazelnut liqueur makes sense.

But the bite of the lemon juice and bitters lifts those intense flavors, so it’s more balanced.

To get that silky foam on top, just add egg whites!

Ingredients: Frangelico liqueur, bourbon, simple syrup, Angostura bitters, lemon juice, ice cubes, lemon slice (for garnish)

5. The Perfect Hazelnut Espresso Martini

Grab your favorite martini glass because it’s time to make one of the best drinks on the list.

The Espresso Martini has been all the rage in the last few years, and all it takes to level it up is a bottle of Piedmont Frangelico.

You’ll love the smooth hazelnut flavor with the dark, almost bitter coffee. And don’t worry, there’s just enough Kahlua for sweetness (or use vanilla vodka)!

Ingredients: espresso, vodka, Kahlua, Frangelico, ice cubes, coffee beans (for garnish)

6. Frangelico Old-Fashioned

If you’re the type of person to live and die by an Old Fashioned co*cktail, try this sweet variation.

The sweetness from the Frangelico liqueur helps to cut through this usually intense drink.

Plus, you’ll add Angostura and mole bitters for even more depth of flavor.

(Use chocolate bitters if you can’t find mole.)

Ingredients: whiskey, brandy or aged rum, Frangelico liqueur, Angostura bitters, mole bitters, ice cubes, orange twist (for garnish)

7. Tiramisu Martini

Do you order tiramisu whenever you can? Love that creamy blend of coffee, chocolate, and mascarpone?

Then you have to try this tiramisu martini!

It’s quite unique – calling for hazelnut liqueur, coconut rum, and peach schnapps. But it’s also super sweet and goes down smoothly.

Ingredients: coconut rum, Frangelico, Irish Creme, Amaretto, Kahlua, peach schnapps, butterscotch schnapps, ice, chocolate syrup & maraschino cherries (for garnish)

8. Creamy Nutella Martini

I hope you didn’t put that martini glass away! Because I’ve got another stunner for you to try.

And this one has Nutella in the mix! So if you bought that Frangelico for the hazelnut flavor alone, I know this one will be your fave.

It’s rich, creamy, nutty, and not overly boozy. That makes it ideal for anyone who likes co*cktails with more sweetness than alcohol.

Ingredients: Nutella, Frangelico, Irish Cream Whiskey, Graham Cracker crumbs (for garnish)

9. The Nutcracker co*cktail

The Nutcracker co*cktail will quickly put you in a festive mood. So get ready to drink and be merry!

You’ll love this creamy, cake-flavored co*cktail.

Add almond milk to make it even creamier, and top it off with fluffy whipped cream.

Ingredients: almond milk, Frangelico, cake vodka, ice cubes, whipped cream & nutmeg or cinnamon (for garnish)

10. Hazelnut Mimosa

Before you start thinking I’m crazy, hear me out.

Some use Frangelico as more of a hazelnut flavored sweetener, and it works surprisingly well in this simple brunch favorite.

It’s bubbly, fruity, and sweet! What more could you want?

Your friends will be delighted by this fun twist on a beloved classic.

Ingredients: orange juice, Frangelico, Prosecco or Cava

11. Mojito Frangelico

Crisp, clean, and wonderfully refreshing, the mojito is another drink that’s gained popularity in recent years.

But have you ever had a hazelnut mojito?

It’s surprisingly delicious, with notes of citrus, mint, and nutty goodness. Just don’t add too much, or it’ll overwhelm the other flavors.

Ingredients: lemon juice, brown sugar, mint leaves, Frangelico, club soda

12. Satin Angel Drink

The Satin Angel drink has a pretty name and heavenly flavor. And if you love a white Russian, you’ll adore this co*cktail.

Instead of coffee liqueur, the Satin Angel features Frangelico, making every sip wonderfully nutty.

It’s creamy and simple with lots of hazelnut flavor. Add a dash of cinnamon over the top for a nice, warm aroma.

Ingredients: Frangelico, cola, cream, ice cubes

13. Hazelnut Hot Buttered Rum

Warm and cozy co*cktails are the ideal winter nightcap. And hot buttered rum is one of the best because it’s super rich and silky.

Hazelnut Frangelico is an incredible addition to the already delicious hot buttered rum co*cktail.

Use real butter, dark rum, brown sugar, and a few comforting spices.Yum!

Ingredients: water, dark rum, Frangelico liqueur, butter, brown sugar, ground nutmeg & cinnamon

14. Hazelnut Eggnog

Eggnog is one of those classic holiday drinks you either love or hate.

But if you add some Frangelico next time, I’m sure it’ll instantly convert the skeptics into lovers.

Hazelnut is truly a dreamy addition to the already spicy, creamy, and sweet ‘nog. It’s extra comforting, decadent, and festive.

Ingredients: pasteurized eggs, sugar, cream, milk, bourbon, Frangelico, ground nutmeg or cinnamon (for garnish)

15. Bellissimo

Bellissimo is the Italian word for “very beautiful” and this co*cktail is exactly that.

The combination of Campari and Limoncello gives the Bellissimo a gorgeous color.Plus, the bitter spicy flavors play so well with the hazelnut.

It’s almost like a nutty Negroni. So if that’s your thing, you’ll love it!

Ingredients: Frangelico, Campari, Limoncello, lemon juice, lemon slice (for garnish)

16. Peanut Butter and Jelly Martini

Although this is an “adults only” type of beverage, your inner child will love it.

And there are only three shining ingredients, so it’s easier to make than a real PB&J.

Every sip is brimming with sweet fruity notes and peanut butter sweetness. And that hit of hazelnut flavor ties it all together with a bow. Delish!

Ingredients: peanut butter whiskey, Chambord, Frangelico, ice

17. Peach Cobbler Martini

Bright, sweet, and loaded with juicy peach flavor, this is the kind of co*cktail you’ll make all summer long.

It’s got that super fruity taste you’d expect. But there’s also a really delightful cobbler-like finish from the Frangelico and Graham Cracker crumb rim.

Of course, it’ll still be delish without the garnish. But try it once, and you’ll never go back!

Ingredients: vanilla vodka or bourbon, Frangelico, peach juice, lemon juice, crushed Graham Crackers, brown sugar & ground cinnamon (for garnish)
