Which chocolate-flavored spirit is used in the Chocolate Cake shot?

The Chocolate Cake shot primarily features Frangelico, which is a hazelnut liqueur. This spirit lends a rich, nutty flavor that complements the taste of chocolate, making it an excellent choice for creating this particular shot. The combination of Frangelico with vodka and a chocolate flavor, typically through a sugar rim or a chocolate syrup, mimics the taste of chocolate cake, hence the name.

While other options like Baileys, Godiva Liqueur, and Amaretto do include chocolate or nutty notes, Frangelico is specifically known for its hazelnut flavor that is used in this shot recipe, providing a unique twist that distinguishes it.
