The UK launch is part of an international push for the Fratello brand. This is the first time the product has been made available across the globe.

The move see’s Fratello replace Frangelico in the Global Brands inc Inspirit portfolio.

Fratello is made from toasted hazelnuts and infusions of cocoa, vanilla berries and Sambuco flowers. Fratello is a smooth, warming and well balanced liqueur, with flavours of toasted wild hazelnuts, chocolate and vanilla with added character from ageing in oak casks.

Fratello can be enjoyed as a cold drink, mixed with fresh limes or cola; poured over ice cream, or added as a shot to coffee or hot chocolate.
