Frangelico®
Liqueur
When introduced in the early 1980s, FRANGELICO
LIQUEUR immediately developed a loyal
following. Nothing quite like it had ever appeared on American back
bars. Its brilliant hazelnut flavor quickly became the featured
attraction in scores of contemporary classics.
Legend has it that in the early 1600s an
Italian friar named Fra. Angelico concocted a liqueur out of wild
hazelnuts and brandy. This eventually became the inspiration for
the Frangelico recipe. The liqueur is made in the Piedmont region
of Italy and combines natural flavor extracts, including hazelnuts,
cocoa, coffee and vanilla to deliver its complex and one of a kind
character. The liqueur is then filtered for purity, sweetened and
bottled at 48 proof.
The reasons for Frangelicos meteoric
success are perfectly evident. The liqueur has an appealing amber
hue and a supple, lightweight body. Its generous bouquet is perhaps
the most seductive in the business, a wafting affair of vanilla,
honey and nuts. The bakery fresh aromas expertly prepare the palate
for the waves of chocolate, spicy herbs and toasted hazelnuts. The
flavorful finish is warm and relaxed.
Frangelico is as versatile as it is delicious
and its place on the roster of indispensable back bar products is
firmly entrenched. If you havent sipped on it neat, youre
in for a genuine treat.
