Hezelnuts for Liqueur Infusions – Flavor & Pairing Tips

Hazelnuts bring rich, toasted nut character and a creamy, praline-like warmth to liqueurs. Their natural oils create a smooth, velvety texture that softens stronger spirits and adds dessert-like indulgence. When combined with chocolate, coffee, vanilla, or caramel, hazelnuts produce deeply comforting flavors reminiscent of classic confectionery. They are perfect for after-dinner liqueurs, offering depth, coziness, and a long, satisfying finish.
