Tasting Notes

The Frangelico Colada is a tropical cocktail with a creamy, nutty twist. Coconut rum and coconut cream lay the groundwork for a lush base, while pineapple brings brightness and a subtle tang. Frangelico, a hazelnut liqueur, rounds it out with a toasted, dessert-like finish. The texture is thick and frosty thanks to the ice and coconut milk, giving it a milkshake-like body. Expect a smooth balance of fruity and nutty flavors, with a touch of sweetness and just enough acidity to keep it refreshing. It’s rich, layered, and perfect for a relaxed afternoon or dessert-style drink.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a blender for this frozen-style cocktail. A jigger helps with measuring, while a bar spoon is handy for layering garnish. A paring knife is useful for prepping the pineapple. Serve the Frangelico Colada in a hurricane glass or stemless wine glass something that allows the texture and color to shine. For garnish, a small grater or microplane works well to add coconut shavings on top. If you prefer a more upscale look, chill the glass before serving.

Tasting Notes

The Frangelico Sour balances the warm, nutty flavor of hazelnut liqueur with the sharp brightness of fresh lemon and lime juice. It’s creamy from the egg white, but not too thick. You get a little sweetness, some sharp citrus, and a round, nutty base that lingers. The hazelnut notes are front and center without being too rich, and the lemon adds just enough bite to keep it light. It’s a refreshing twist on a sour that stands out from more common versions. The cherry and lemon garnish give it a pop of color and a nice little treat at the end.

Equipment and Glassware

For this drink, you’ll need a shaker, a strainer, and a jigger to measure your ingredients. A citrus juicer will help if you’re using fresh lemons and limes. To get a good foam from the egg white, use the dry shake method shaking all the ingredients without ice first, then shaking again with ice. A coupe or small rocks glass works well for serving. If you want to go the extra mile, chill the glass beforehand. Have a cocktail pick ready for your garnish to keep everything neat and easy to handle.

Ingredients

• 1½ oz Frangelico
• 2 oz fresh lemon juice
• ½ oz fresh lime juice
• ⅓ oz egg white
• Lemon slice and cocktail cherries, for garnish

Instructions

• Add Frangelico, lemon juice, lime juice, and egg white to a shaker (no ice).
• Dry shake for about 10–15 seconds to build the foam.
• Add ice and shake again until well chilled.
• Strain into a coupe or rocks glass.
• Garnish with a lemon slice and a cocktail cherry.

Pro Tips

• Use the dry shake method for a smooth, lasting foam.
• Fresh lemon and lime juice make a big difference in taste.
• Crack your egg into a separate container to avoid shell bits.
• Add a dash of simple syrup if you like it a little sweeter.
• A few drops of bitters on the foam can add depth (optional).
• Chill your glass before serving to help keep the foam stable.
• Use a frother if you prefer not to shake with egg white.
• Store-bought pasteurized egg whites work just fine.

When to Serve

The Frangelico Sour is great for cooler nights when you want something smooth with a little warmth, but it still holds up well in warmer months thanks to the citrus. It fits well into dinner parties, cocktail hours, or nights when you want something a little different without going over the top. It works as a before-dinner drink or even after a meal. The look and flavor make it just right for small gatherings, date nights, or even a quiet moment on the couch with your feet up.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

• Hazelnut Liqueur: Frangelico (classic choice)
• Citrus Juice: Use fresh lemons and limes no brands needed
• Egg White Substitute: Fee Foam or Ms. Better’s Bitters Miraculous Foamer if avoiding raw egg

Tasting Notes

This Hazelnut Bourbon Sour is warm, nutty, and balanced with just the right amount of tartness. The bourbon brings bold flavor with a smooth finish, while the Frangelico adds a soft hazelnut note that makes the drink feel cozy without being heavy. Lemon juice gives it a fresh, tangy bite, and the simple syrup rounds it all out with a touch of sweetness. It’s familiar like a classic whiskey sour, but the hazelnut twist makes it feel new.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a shaker, a jigger, and a strainer. A citrus press makes juicing the lemon easier and faster. Serve it in a rocks glass over fresh ice or neat in a coupe if you prefer it chilled but smooth. If you like garnish, a lemon wheel or twist adds a clean finish. For extra presentation, a large ice cube works well to slow dilution.

Ingredients

• 2 oz bourbon
• ½ oz Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
• ¾ oz lemon juice
• ¼ oz simple syrup
• Garnish: lemon twist or toasted hazelnut (optional)

Instructions

• Add bourbon, Frangelico, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well until chilled.
• Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

Pro Tips

• Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. If your bourbon is high-proof or bold, you can increase the simple syrup slightly to keep the drink smooth.
• Don’t overdo the Frangelico—just ½ oz adds enough hazelnut without overpowering the bourbon.
• Shake hard to mix everything evenly and get a nice chill.
• A lemon twist over the top adds aroma without changing the flavor.

When to Serve

This Hazelnut Bourbon Sour works great in fall and winter when you want something a little richer, but it’s light enough to enjoy year-round. Serve it at cocktail hour, after dinner, or during small gatherings when you want a whiskey drink that feels a little special. It’s also a good choice for folks who like bourbon but want something smoother and slightly sweet.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

• For bourbon, stick with something smooth and well-rounded like Maker’s Mark, Elijah Craig, or Four Roses.
• Frangelico is the go-to for hazelnut liqueur—it’s widely available and works perfectly here.
• Use a basic 1:1 simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water), and always go with fresh lemon juice for the best balance and brightness.

Tasting Notes

The Toblerone Cocktail is rich, creamy, and perfect for dessert. It blends the smoothness of white rum with the nutty flavor of Frangelico and the creamy sweetness of Bailey’s. Coffee liqueur adds a bold coffee note that cuts through the richness and balances the flavors. Half-and-half and simple syrup give the drink a silky, smooth texture, while the egg adds body and creates a luxurious foam on top. Garnished with shaved chocolate, every sip has a hint of sweetness and a subtle nutty aroma, making this cocktail both comforting and flavorful.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a cocktail shaker to properly combine and chill the ingredients. Because this recipe uses an egg, a strong shake is essential to create a smooth, frothy texture. A jigger ensures accurate measurements, and a fine strainer will help achieve a silky pour. Serve this drink in a coupe glass to showcase its smooth surface and foamy top. A microplane or fine grater is perfect for shaving the chocolate garnish. Chill your glass in the freezer before serving to keep the drink cold and smooth.

• Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled.

Pro Tips

• For the smoothest texture, use a dry shake (without ice) first to emulsify the egg, then shake again with ice.
• Always use fresh eggs and check for quality before adding them to cocktails.
• If you prefer a lighter version, use whole milk instead of half-and-half.
• For extra flavor, try using a flavored espresso liqueur like vanilla or chocolate.
• Chill the coupe glass ahead of time to keep the drink cold longer, and garnish with chocolate shavings right before serving to keep them fresh and aromatic.

When to Serve

The Toblerone Cocktail is perfect as a dessert drink or after-dinner treat. It’s a great way to end a special meal or to serve during holiday celebrations.

Because of its sweet, indulgent flavors, it’s an ideal choice for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, or any time you’re celebrating with something a little special.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

• For the white rum, use a smooth brand like Bacardi Superior or Don Q Cristal.
• Bailey’s is the classic choice for Irish cream, but other brands like Carolans or Five Farms also work well.
• Frangelico is the go-to for hazelnut liqueur, but if you’re looking for something different, try Nocello.
• For coffee liqueur, Kahlúa is a popular option, but Mr Black offers a richer coffee flavor.
• Use fresh, high-quality eggs, and for garnish, Toblerone is the classic pick, but any good milk chocolate will work.

Whether you’re entertaining guests or treating yourself to a dessert-like cocktail, this drink delivers a luxurious experience in every sip.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

For the best results, choose a high-quality vanilla vodka such as Absolut Vanilla or Stoli Vanil for a smooth, rich flavor. Baileys Irish Cream is the gold standard for a creamy, slightly chocolatey base, but Five Farms Irish Cream is another excellent option. Frangelico provides the ideal hazelnut warmth, though Amaretto can be used as a substitute for an almond variation.
