Frangeilico Float

The Frangelico Float is a decadent dessert drink that combines the creamy indulgence of ice cream with the nutty sweetness of Frangelico, an Italian hazelnut liqueur. This delightful concoction is further enriched with the addition of Creme de Cacao, which introduces a luscious chocolate flavor, perfectly complementing the rich undertones of the hazelnut liqueur. The inclusion of milk helps to create a smooth, silky texture, while a drizzle of chocolate syrup adds an extra layer of sweetness and a touch of visual appeal. Together, these ingredients create a luxurious treat that is both refreshing and satisfyingly rich.

Frangelico, the star ingredient of this float, has a storied history that dates back over 300 years, when Christian monks in the Piedmont region of Italy are said to have crafted a similar hazelnut liqueur. The liqueur's name pays homage to a legendary hermit monk named Fra' Angelico, who supposedly lived in the Italian hills and was known for his culinary and artistic talents. Over time, the recipe for Frangelico evolved, eventually gaining popularity worldwide for its unique flavor profile. Adding to this, Creme de Cacao, a chocolate-flavored liqueur, complements the hazelnut notes beautifully, culminating in a modern twist on classic dessert drinks with the Frangelico Float.

This milk, float or shake is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Highball Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
