Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 part hazelnut syrup for DIY vodka mix
  • 1 part vodka to mix with hazelnut syrup for substitute
  • 1 tablespoon Amaretto use equal parts as Frangelico substitute
  • 1 tablespoon Nocello walnut liqueur substitute, use equal parts
  • 1 tablespoon Non-alcoholic hazelnut syrup equal replacement for Frangelico without alcohol
  • 0.25 teaspoon hazelnut extract combine with simple syrup for baking substitute
  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup mix with hazelnut extract for baking substitute

Method
 

  1. Use equal parts Amaretto to replace Frangelico in cocktails, dessert sauces, and coffee drinks for a sweeter almond flavor with similar texture.
  2. Substitute Nocello (walnut liqueur) 1:1 for cooking and after-dinner drinks if a nuttier but earthy walnut flavor is acceptable.
  3. Make a quick Hazelnut Vodka Mix by combining 1 part hazelnut syrup with 1 part vodka, using 1 tablespoon of the mix for each tablespoon of Frangelico needed.
  4. Use non-alcoholic hazelnut syrup as a 1:1 substitute in mocktails, desserts, and coffee to avoid alcohol while keeping the sweet nutty flavor.
  5. For baking, combine ¼ teaspoon hazelnut extract with 1 tablespoon simple syrup to replace 1 tablespoon Frangelico, avoiding alcohol's effects on texture.

Notes

Add hazelnut extract mixed with simple syrup slowly when baking to avoid overpowering flavor and maintain balance.
