Talk about beautiful simple layers in a cocktail glass. And trouble-free! Hazelnut adds nutty chocolate flavor to this blend which many care for in a BIG way. In my opinion it is a little out of place. It lacks something. Perhaps there is not enough depth between the layers to carry off the intensity of the Hazelnut Liqueur and delicacy of the NUVO. Possibly a hint or drizzle of Raspberry Liqueur around the outer edge of the wine glass just before serving would boost the flavor intensity to just the right level it needs to carry off the richness of the Hazelnut Liqueur.
