Frangelico 70 cl, 20% ABV - Italian Hazelnut Liqueur

Product Information

Nowadays, hazelnuts are commonly used in baking, chocolate making and spread as well as turned into a delicious hazelnut flavoured liqueur. I can’t promise that our Homemade Rosehip liqueur will stop you catching a cold, but it’ll certainly cheer you up if you do have one. Depending on the brand of chocolate liqueur you have, and how you are using it in the recipe, the ratio will vary. Start with about half of what the recipe calls for in amaretto and then slowly add more as needed. 5. Coffee liqueur Like most homemade infusions or liqueurs, time does most of the work. When I went searching for how to make a homemade hazelnut liqueur, there were different schools of thought. Some added brandy, some didn't. Some toasted the hazelnuts, some didn't. I basically settled on this Hazelnut Liqueur from Serious Eats, except that I added the step to toast the nuts. Although chocolate liqueur has a different flavor than amaretto it works well as a substitute for amaretto in almost any recipe. This is because the rich chocolate flavor pairs well with the same flavor profiles that pair well with amaretto.

The hazelnut is the fruit of the hazel tree (Corylus). These nuts are also known as cobnuts or filberts according to species. The hazel tree is native to the Northern Hemisphere and is common across North America, Europe and Asia. Coffee liqueur is another great alternative to amaretto when you want to maintain the classic qualities of a flavored liqueur. Like a chocolate liqueur, this option can also be sipped alongside dinner. This one is particularly versatile as recipes go because you can make different selections for each of the three spirits, and every combination will be a little different. A neutral vodka will allow the cherry and hazelnut flavors to shine the strongest, but you can always play with flavored vodkas to add something extra! Hazelnut Dark and Stormy Since most coconut liqueurs have a similar sweetness to amaretto you can use it in a 1:1 ratio. Just be sure you love the flavor of coconut before making this switch. 11. Cherry Liqueur

Turn down to a low heat and add the chopped chocolate, whisk constantly until all melted and combined. As with chocolate liqueur, start with half and taste your recipe. Slowly add more as needed to reach your desired flavor. 6. Marzipan However, when used to replace amaretto in baking, the flavor of coffee liqueur will not pair well with every recipe. Therefore, be mindful of what the recipe calls for. One of the most popular brands of amaretto is Disaronno. However, depending on where you live you may have a variety of brands available at your liquor store. Even with so many brands available, there may be times when you need a substitute. Jump to: To avoid making any recipe too sweet, use almond syrup in a 1:1 ratio for amaretto but leave out some of the additional sweetener ( such as simple syrup or sugar). Another option is to start with ½ the amount and slowly add more ( without making changes to the other sweetener). 4. Chocolate Liqueur

Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur is perhaps the most well-known hazelnut liqueur. Made in Italy and distilled using real hazelnuts, this comes as no surprise. The hazelnuts are grown in Piedmont, Italy and the result is a luxurious, premium, and extremely versatile hazelnut liqueur. Pop the nuts in a glass preserving jar and add both the vodka and brandy. You can make any quantity of this hazelnut liqueur recipes, but keep the proportions of 4/5ths vodka to 1/5th brandy. Fratello Hazelnut Liqueur is a unique and versatile expression that stands out even among other hazelnut liqueurs. Created by the Francoli Distillery, it’s crafted from toasted Piemonte hazelnuts infused with vanilla berries, cocoa, and elderflowers for an additional boost of flavor. It’s sweetened with special, local acacia honey, created by bees from the very vineyards owned by the Francoli Distillery itself. It’s a lovely and translucent pale, yellow-amber color and the nose is big and bold. Once toasted, pour the nuts straight on to a clean tea towel and wrap them up. Leave to steam for 1 minute, before rubbing the nuts in the towel to remove the loose skins. Generally, I find that about half the skins come off. In addition, you can enjoy chocolate liqueur enjoyed on its own as a pre-or post-dinner drink in the same way amaretto is. Therefore, making it a delightful choice for those who want to maintain the traditional elements of a flavored liqueur ( either on its own or in a recipe).

In addition, hazelnut liqueur is great for adding that rich nutty flavor to your favorite amaretto-based desserts. In addition to almond extract, almond syrup is another great amaretto substitute. While almond extract is a concentrated flavor without any additional sweetener, almond syrup is an almond flavoring mixed with sweetener. Leave to infuse for at least one month in a cool, dark place, giving the jar a shake when you remember.

While it will not be a good choice for something fruit-flavored, coffee liqueur is an excellent substitute for tiramisu or a chocolate-based dessert. Place the hazelnuts on a baking tray and lightly toast them in an oven for 10-15 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they don’t burn. When looking to create a new spin on a classic amaretto recipe consider giving coconut liqueur a try. If you look up apricot liqueur you may find recipes for making amaretto from apricot pits. In addition, you will see quite a few options for apricot brandy ( and other apricot-flavored liquors).Although it is not an exact flavor match for amaretto, the anise flavoring works well in many recipes. Especially if you enjoy the flavor of licorice. While you may not have hazelnut liqueur on hand, you may have almond extract in your cupboard. Since almond extract is made from almonds, it lends a distinctly similar flavor. This short, creamy drink is perfect to make for the masses as it’s both easy and boozy! It’s perfect for a birthday celebration, but there’s no shame in making the drink up simply because you love chocolate cake! Apricot pits have a similar flavor to almonds. Therefore, some versions of amaretto are made from apricot pits. To use marzipan as a substitute for amaretto simply add hot water to melt the marzipan. It will create a syrup-like consistency that can be used to add flavoring to your recipes.
