Our Test Kitchen has stirred up drinks using chocolate liqueur (see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-espresso-martini\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-espresso-martini\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">chocolate espresso martini<\/a>) and Irish cream (check out our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/baileys-espresso-martini\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/baileys-espresso-martini\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Baileys espresso martini<\/a>), but other liqueurs can also accent the classic\u2014or be enjoyed on their own.<\/p>\n<p>Frangelico, or hazelnut liqueur, is a terrific example. Even better: It&#8217;s easy to make at home. While you can snag a bottle of this spirit at your local liquor store, our Test Kitchen believes that everything tastes better homemade and came up with a hazelnut liqueur recipe.<\/p>\n<h2>What is hazelnut liqueur?<\/h2>\n<p>Hazelnut liqueur is an amber-colored spirit that gets its flavor from hazelnuts but also has accents of vanilla, caramel, cocoa or coffee. It has a pronounced nutty aroma and flavor, much stronger than its almond-based cousin, amaretto.<\/p>\n<p>Frangelico is the most popular brand of hazelnut liqueur on the market. It&#8217;s made by infusing a base alcohol with crushed Italian hazelnuts and other flavoring agents. Other brands, like Fratello and Drago, use similar methods.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll often see this nutty liqueur served on the rocks or occasionally mixed into drinks like flavored martinis or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/hazelnut-mocha-coffee\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/hazelnut-mocha-coffee\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">spiked coffee<\/a>. Liqueurs like this can also be used to flavor sweets and baked goods, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/banana-hazelnut-pain-perdu-duet\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/banana-hazelnut-pain-perdu-duet\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">banana hazelnut French toast<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-spumoni-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-spumoni-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">spumoni cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Hazelnut Liqueur Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1912275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Homemade-Hazelnut-Liqueur-TOHcom23_273792_DR_08_08_5b_PKedit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Ingredients for Hazelnut Liqueur\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hazelnuts with skins<\/li>\n<li>Cacao nibs<\/li>\n<li>Vodka<\/li>\n<li>Brandy<\/li>\n<li>Vanilla bean<\/li>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<li>Sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Toast the hazelnuts<\/h3>\n<p>For maximum flavor in any nutty recipe, including this liqueur, always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-nuts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-nuts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">toast the nuts<\/a>. For this recipe, the best method is to spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake in a 325\u00baF oven. Toast until the nuts are toasty and fragrant\u2014about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Once toasted, cool the hazelnuts completely.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Steep the flavorings in the alcohol<\/h3>\n<p>Next, add the hazelnuts and cacao nibs to a large glass jar. We suggest using a quart-sized Mason jar. Then pour in 1 cup of vodka and 1\/2 cup of brandy. Cover the mixture and let it stand for a week. Shake the container occasionally.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:\u00a0<\/em>Make sure you know the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cacao-vs-cocoa\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cacao-vs-cocoa\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">difference between cacao and cocoa<\/a>. Cacao nibs (sometimes called cocoa nibs) are chocolaty but not as sweet as chocolate. You can find them at specialty shops and spice stores.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Add vanilla<\/h3>\n<p>After a week, it&#8217;s time to add the vanilla. Use a sharp knife to split a vanilla bean lengthwise. Scrape the seeds from the pod and add them to the jar of liqueur along with the pod. Add the remaining brandy and vodka and let sit for one week longer. Like last time, give the container a shake once in a while.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Strain<\/h3>\n<p>The next step is to strain the whole ingredients from the liquid. Do this by pouring the mix into a cheesecloth-lined colander. Repeat the process, this time using a coffee filter to remove any finer particles. Set the liquid aside.<\/p>\n<p>Discard the nuts, vanilla bean pod and cacao nibs. After steeping in the alcohol for weeks, the flavor has been fully extracted. What remains won&#8217;t be useful, so toss them or pop them into your compost bin.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Add sweetness<\/h3>\n<p>The last step is to sweeten up the liqueur. Heat sugar and water in a saucepan until boiling. Then, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for five minutes. Cool this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-simple-syrup\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-simple-syrup\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">simple syrup<\/a> completely.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, add the cooled syrup to the liqueur. From there, you can serve or store.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Serve Homemade Hazelnut Liqueur<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1927488\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TOHcom23_273792_DR_010_03_1b-Hazelnut-Liqueur-SQ.jpg?fit=700%2C700\" alt=\"Hazelnut Liqueur \" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>After taking the time to make this liqueur from scratch, you should enjoy at least a shot on the rocks. This will let you taste all the flavors that you married together to create the perfect sip.<\/p>\n<p>Hazelnut liqueur is also especially tasty in warm drinks. The cozy hazelnut flavor does wonders to transform a cup of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/hazelnut-hot-chocolate\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/hazelnut-hot-chocolate\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">hot chocolate<\/a>. It also can turn your basic cup of coffee into something special to savor while you settle in by the fire.<\/p>\n<p>Cocktails, though, are just the start. Use a splash of your homemade liqueur in baked goods in lieu of amaretto or rum. Try a bit in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/spiced-pumpkin-tiramisu\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/spiced-pumpkin-tiramisu\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pumpkin tiramisu<\/a> or a batch of brownies.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you store homemade hazelnut liqueur?<\/h2>\n<p>The best way to store your homemade Frangelico is in a bottle with a tight-sealing cap or in an air-tight jar, like a Mason jar. For best results, keep this liqueur in a cupboard, your liquor cabinet or another cool, dark spot.<\/p>\n<h2>How long does homemade Frangelico last?<\/h2>\n<p>Homemade hazelnut liqueur tastes best when enjoyed within two months. If you don&#8217;t think you can enjoy a full batch within this time span, share the wealth! Homemade liqueurs make wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-food-gift-ideas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-food-gift-ideas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">food gifts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, store-bought hazelnut liqueur like Frangelico will keep indefinitely when unopened. Once opened, Frangelico tastes best within a few years. Like the homemade variety, this liqueur is best kept in a cupboard or pantry.<\/p>\n<h2>Hazelnut Liqueur Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1926513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TOHcom23_273794_DR_10_03_9b-Hazelnut-Liqueur.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Hazelnut Liqueur drink\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3>Do you have to peel the hazelnuts to make hazelnut liqueur?<\/h3>\n<p>Good news: You don&#8217;t have to peel the hazelnuts to make this homemade liqueur. The roughly chopped, toasted nuts can be added right into the liquor mix to steep. Any skins will be strained away after steeping.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use vanilla extract instead of vanilla beans?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/vanilla-bean-paste-or-extract\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/vanilla-bean-paste-or-extract\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Vanilla beans<\/a> can be hard to find, so it&#8217;s absolutely OK to substitute vanilla extract or vanilla paste in their place. Use a tablespoon of extract or paste in lieu of a bean.<\/p>\n<h3>How can you adjust this hazelnut liqueur recipe to make it your own?<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to make any homemade liqueur your own is to start by using your preferred spirits. If you love brandy (or even cognac), use it in this recipe to give it your own signature flair.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to tweak this recipe is with the vanilla. Different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-best-type-of-vanilla\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-best-type-of-vanilla\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">types of vanilla<\/a>\u2014think Madagascar-Bourbon, Tahitian or Mexican\u2014have a unique flavor profile. A swap like this can also give your homemade spirits a flavor that&#8217;s distinctly yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stop right there!
