The distinctive Frangelico bottle. It is designed to resemble a monk in his habit; note the rope tied around the bottle's "waist."

Frangelico is a hazelnut and herb-flavored liqueur (colored with caramel) which is produced in Canale, Italy. It is 24% alcohol by volume - 48 proof. It was released in the 1980's, gaining attention largely because of its unusual packaging: its bottle was designed to look like a monk, complete with a real knotted white cord around the waist.
