4 Cocktails That Prove Hazelnut's A Boss

In the winter season, the humble hazelnut is a frontrunner when it comes to adding richness and complexity to anything you put it in, including cocktails. This winter, if you’re hosting a party or a reunion, think about serving these hazelnut cocktails. And don’t fret if it isn’t winter, because the drinks will be just as good any time of the year. Read on for some tried-and-tested hazelnut cocktail recipes:

The Nutty Irishman

We aren’t exaggerating when we say this is the dreamiest Irish coffee you can make. It uses freshly brewed coffee, Irish cream liqueur, hazelnut liqueur (2ml), and whisky (30ml). You can also top it with whipped cream and ground nutmeg—this is an optional step. Enjoy the creamy, frothy, nutty, sweet, and strong flavours.

Hazelnut Old-Fashioned

Adding hazelnut to this classic cocktail gives it a delightful depth of flavour. Just add 30 ml whisky, hazelnut liqueur (2ml), simple syrup, bitters, and an orange peel to garnish. If you really want to take it to the next level, add a few drops of vanilla extract. The layers you can taste will blow your mind!

Hazelnut Cider

If you want a hot drink with spicy notes, this is perfect. It’s made with hot apple cider, cinnamon-infused whisky (30ml), hazelnut liqueur (2ml), and a cinnamon stick for garnish. There’s no way this cocktail can go wrong, because it’s exactly like sipping on a warm, homely apple pie. Foolproof!

And that’s it—enjoy the magic of hazelnut cocktails!
