Cup of Yum
Notes
- Like when cooking with wine, use a good quality scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream.
- If you don't have access to espresso, strong brewed coffee will work super well.
- Use chilled glasses to keep the ice cream from melting too fast (add scoops of ice cream and freeze the glasses ahead if you want to be clever)

- Add more booze. Enough said. (Baileys, Whiskey, Kahlua... all good choices)
- Change out the ice cream flavors - how about chocolate for a more mocha flavor?
- Play around with quantities. Like it creamier? More gelato! Like it stronger? More coffee!
