From Wikipedia:
Frangelico is a brand of noisette (flavored with hazelnuts) and herb-flavored liqueur coloured with caramel coloring, which is produced in Canale, Italy. It is 20% alcohol by volume (ABV) or 40 proof.... The brand was created in 1978. It is known for its unusual packaging; its bottle was designed to look like a friar, complete with a knotted white cord around the waist....
According to the manufacturer, the name of the liqueur is based on a legend of a hermit monk named Fra Angelico who "created unique recipes for liqueurs". The bottle itself most closely resembles the habit of a Franciscan friar.
Frangelico is made in a similar manner to some other nut liqueurs: nuts are crumbled up and combined with cocoa, vanilla berries, and other natural flavors, and then left to soak in the base spirit. After the spirit has absorbed the flavor of the ingredients, the liqueur is filtered, sweetened, and bottled.
