At Foodbeast, we have a shameless love for Nutella. It’s the sweet, sweet nectar of the gods and if we could, we’d install a fondue waterfall in our office and call it a day. Unfortunately, at the moment, the closest we can get to that fantasy is by turning our favorite childhood treat into a boozy masterpiece.

The inspiration for the Nutella Mint came to me when I saw that my favorite local café, Chapman Coffee House, was serving up “Nutella Lattes.” It swept me off my feet and I immediately set to concocting a liqueur-friendly version. By the end, Amaretto and Frangelico were the perfect compliments to Nutella’s hazelnut flavor and made for a heavenly, iced summer drink.

It’ll have to do ‘til we get that waterfall.
