Notes

Nutritional estimates were calculated for Frangelico sour #2 with an egg white.

This recipe is based on the 20% alcohol by volume (ABV) Frangelico sold today. If you have an old bottle of 28% ABV Frangelico that you are using, consider decreasing any added sugar in whichever Frangelico sour variation you use.

These Frangelico sours can be made sweeter by using lemon juice instead of lime juice or adding a teaspoon of 1 to 1 simple syrup, if a sweeter cocktail is desired.
