Frangelico is a brand of hazelnut and herb–flavored liqueur coloured with caramel coloring, which is produced in Canale, Italy.[1] It is 20% alcohol by volume (ABV) or 40 proof. Formerly, it was 24% ABV or 48 proof. When produced by the Barbaro family it was bottled at 28% ABV or 56 proof. The brand was created in 1978.[2]
According to the manufacturer, the name of the liqueur is based on a legend of a hermit monk named Fra Angelico who lived in the Piedmont region of Italy and "created unique recipes for liqueurs". The bottle itself most closely resembles the habit of a Franciscan friar.[3]
The brand was purchased by Gruppo Campari in 2010, having previously been owned by William Grant and C&C Group.[4]
Ingredients
Frangelico contains sugar, alcohol, hazelnut distillate, natural and artificial flavours, and caramel.[5]
A 30 ml serving of Frangelico contains about 11 g of sugar, making Frangelico approximately 40% sugar by weight.[6][7][8]
Consumption
Recommended usage includes "pour it over ice... pour it over ice with a squeeze of fresh lime... mix with soda, or chill it and enjoy as a shot". It is also an ingredient in cocktails.[9]
Appearances in media
The artist Jeff Koons reproduced two Frangelico advertisements, "Stay in Tonight" and "Find a Quiet Table", in his 1986 Luxury & Degradation series of paintings and sculptures based on the role of alcohol in culture. According to Koons he used the Frangelico ads to "defin[e] a $45,000 and up income", in contrast to other works in the series which correspond to lower income levels.[10]
