Jump to Recipe

The perfect after-dinner drink, sweet nutty hazelnut liqueur mixed with Irish cream, it’s like drinking liquid Ferrero Rocher, or why not try it as a stunning layered cocktail? We first made a fun, nutty Irishman cocktail to celebrate St Patricks Day, but it’s too delicious to only drink once a year!

Why you’ll love this cocktail recipe

  • It’s the perfect drink to celebrate St Patty’s Day with!
  • You can make it in 2 minutes; it’s so easy!
  • This is perfect if you’re looking for unusual drinks to serve to your family and friends.
  • It’s 100% vegetarian.

What is the best Hazelnut liqueur?

We’ve used Frangelico hazelnut liqueur, which is a delicious Italian liqueur, but you can use your favorite brand, or you could even make your own!

Nothing brings a smile to friends faces more than when they take their first sip of a nutty Irishman cocktail, sweet, creamy, and nutty, it’s the perfect after dinner drink.

Can you drink Frangelico straight up?

Sure, why not?

You could drink it as a nutty shot or over ice on the rocks.

Nutty Irishman variations

There are many variations of a nutty Irishman (which sounds like one of those cute boyfriend names); our recipe uses Baileys Irish cream and Frangelico liqueur.

Variations include adding Irish whiskey, vodka, or whipped cream on top.

You can make it into a nutty adult’s hot chocolate, nutty Irish cream coffee after food; the sweetness works perfectly with the bitterness of the coffee.

Whichever way you prefer to make your nutty Irishman, we are sure you’ll be coming back for more and making this recipe again!

What is the best Irish cream to use?

Our personal preference is Baileys Irish cream, but once again, feel free to use the Irish cream of your choice.

Ingredients needed Irish cream and hazelnut liqueur.

What type of glass should I use?

If you are making the mixed nutty Irishman version, we recommend using an old-fashioned glass or a tumbler.

If you are making the layered version, we recommend using a shot glass.

Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Out of Irish cream?
    If you’re making the layered shot recipe, try using whipped cream instead; place the whipped cream on top of the hazelnut liqueur; you could even have Irish whipped cream.
  • Want an extra Irish boost?
    Add in a shot of Irish whiskey.
  • Got leftover Frangelico?
    Add a shot to a hot chocolate to make the perfect adult nutty chocolate drink; it’s also great in coffee!
