For the hazelnut liqueur I always go for the 'Fra Angelico' a misterious bottle always present in every Mexican home bar, even when nobody knows what to do with it. But is 'nutty' very nutty. Sometimes i just go for recipes with the sesame seed oil. I love the flavour. You know what? I will make one just this moment!

This is very interesting and enjoyable! Followed the recipe sans garnish. Sesame citrus and honey forward with a hint of hazelnut. A geat way to use a bottle of Frangelico that I wasn't really enjoying... And a bottle of Laws four grain bourbon gor the same reason.

Agree with the others saying swap the lemon and frangelico, may even kick the lemon down a smidge more next time. Sesame oil and frangelico are a match made in heaven, makes me want to add a little sesame oil to some other frangelico based drinks.

I would also increase frangelico to 22.5ml. It was a bit sour for my taste.

I flipped the amounts of lemon and frangelico and found it brought out the sesame perfectly!

Should I use light sesame oil, or dark/toasted sesame oil?

Too lazy to make a batch of honey syrup so used 10ml of sugar syrup in its place and still ended up with a fantastically well balanced and surprisingly subtle sour. Excellent.

I really loved this cocktail. I never imagined how delicious sesame oil could be in a drink ?.
