Some months ago, my dad & stepmom moved to Denver.
As my stepmother was clearing out the pantry, she came across a couple of bottles of liqueur. One of them was Frangelico, which has a rather fancy label with severe lettering.
What…exactly…do I do with this? Most of my alchoholic drinks in the past have been beers or wines. Do I just drink a little Frangelico in a little cup? Or do I mix it with other stuff.
Here you go!
Try the chocolate cake. Yummy!
Drink it straight, from a liqueur glass. If the taste is too intense, try it with ice. If you find you really need to mix it, use milk or cream.
Funny, I just posted about Frangelico a few minutes ago. (My son-in-law refers to it as “Mrs. Butterworth.”)
If you have a little Bailey’s Irish Creme, the two are great together 50-50 over ice. The idea of just adding milk or cream is also good.
Frangelico has predominately a hazelnut flavor. I’m going to look up Sleepless’s recipe as soon as I post. I would think it would be very good with chocolate.
It is a cut above most liqueurs.
I think it’s a cut above everything except Nocello (which is a walnut liqueur). But hey, there’s no accounting for taste.
Makes excellent flavoring for cheesecakes, too. Especially pumpkin cheesecakes… mmmmm.
I’ll have to try mixing it with Bailey’s tonight, that sounds really good.
Mix it with Chambord and cream. The drink is called Nuts and Berries…oh yum yum yum.
Yummy with coffee, too, especially with whipped cream on top.
If you can’t figure out what to do with it, you can always send it to me!
It make a nice addition to Egg Nog instead of Brandy. Add Frangelico (is that how its spelled?) and some vodka and Egg Nog is rather good.
It goes very well with biscotti and espresso.
I must confess that it was seeing your post in the other thread that prompted me to start this one. The bottle of Frangelico has been sitting in my cupboard for months now, and I’ve no experience with liqueurs.
Excellent suggestions in this thread, so far. Thanks! 
I think I’m going to have to print a copy of this thread…Is if five o’clock yet?
1/3 shot of Frangelico, a full shot of raspberry liqueur, and top it off with cream (in a big glass). Mix, and drink.
I’m gonna go do that right now.
Pour some over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Mmmm, Frangelico! I think I’ll call my husband and tell him to get some on his way home…
Me, I’d add it to chocolate truffles, instead of Amaretto.

:ivylass elbows ultrafilter: Ahem, my above post, please. And as long as you’re playing bartender, I’ll have some too, please.
It sounds weird, yes, but mix it with Stoli Citron and have yourself a chocolate martini.
I doubted it too but it really does taste like chocolate.
Pour 3/4 of a cup of coffee.
Mix in 1/2 shot of Frangelico, 1/2 shot of Baileys, 1/2 shot of Drambuie, top with whipped cream.
Drink whilst sitting in front of a roaring fire with the person of your choice and 2 straws.

I second the nuts and berries recipie mmm mmm good. For the chocolate martini, here we add a little sugar on the tongue–just let it sit there long enough to let it melt slightly, then sip and enjoy. ( oh, by the way any vodka will do–it doesn’t need to be citron flavoured)
If you’re like me and my friends, you set it out on the bar at every gathering, just so it looks like you have a larger palate than you do, and go ahead and drink beer all night.
