Dolce means sweet in Italian. This sweet, vegan cinnamon chocolate hazelnut sipping liqueur is an adult drink and dessert in one. Sip cold, pour over ice, add a shot or two to your espresso or even pour over some ice cream. The slightest sprinkling of smoked salt gives it that sweet and salty vibe. It makes an indulgent end to a perfect Italian meal or make several batches and give as gifts.
