The Frangelico Pumpkin Monk, The Fall Cocktail

I seriously think I wait around for fall to come, so I can enjoy this gorgeous drink, the pumpkin monk cocktail. Not only do I love pumpkin, but the subtle note of hazelnut in the Frangelico is the perfect compliment to the smoky pumpkin flavor of this cocktail.Fall is the perfect time to break out the Frangelico. Once you try this drink, it will become your favorite too. And like me, you will wait for it to be fall again. Ring in the season with this drink...
