Bombardino: The Warm Winter Cocktail from the Italian Alps

Literally "the bomb" in Italian, il Bombardino is the skier's reward after a day on the slopes. This warm winter cocktail, reminiscent of eggnog, was created in northern Lombardia and is beloved across the Italian Alps. Over time the recipe was perfected into a creamy egg liqueur stirred into brandy and topped with whipped cream and cinnamon.

Ingredients

• 1.5 ounces brandy, such as Vecchia Romagna Brandy
• 3 ounces egg liqueur, such as Zabov Zabaglione
• Whipped cream, to taste
• Cinnamon, to taste

How to make Bombardino

1. Warm the egg liqueur in a small saucepan. Pour the brandy into a glass mug.
2. When the egg liqueur is hot but not yet boiling, slowly add it to the brandy. Stir well to combine.
3. Top the cocktail with a generous amount of whipped cream and finish with a sprinkling of cinnamon.
