Yield: 0
Ingredients: 1/4 cup shelled and skinned hazelnuts; 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp. sugar; 3/4 lemon, cut into chunks and seeded, plus 3 lemon wedges for garnish; 4 oz. cognac, such as hennessy or armagnac; 2 oz. frangelico

The good quality cognacs have a nutty flavor. Adding Frangelico intensifies this flavor. If you have oranges, you can use half the amount of lemon in each drink, replacing the rest with fresh orange pieces. If you want a lighter cocktail, divide mixed cocktail among four glasses and top each with seltzer water and stir. From Five Ingredient Fix
