Bombardino - Italian Eggnog Cocktail
Description
The Bombardino cocktail is composed of eggnog liqueur warmed gently to just below boiling, maintaining its smooth, custard-like consistency. Brandy is added and blended in, delivering a warming alcoholic kick. The drink is served topped with a soft dollop of whipped cream for a creamy contrast and sprinkled lightly with cinnamon for spice and aroma.
This cocktail has several well-known variations, including the original with zabaglione, the Calimero variation adding espresso, and the Scozzese version using whiskey. It is traditionally served warm in small portions, typically espresso-sized cups, suitable as a digestif or dessert beverage.
Heating should be gentle to avoid curdling the eggnog liqueur. Whipped cream should be softly whipped for texture without being overwhipped. Adjust alcohol levels by omitting brandy or choosing alternate spirits. The cocktail can also be served cold if preferred.
Ingredients
- 1..7 fl oz (50ml) eggnog liqueur such as Advocaat or Zabov Zagalione
- 0.3 fl oz (10ml / or a very small splash measuring by eye) brandy
- 1 heaped tbsp Whipped Cream , for topping
- 1 small pinch cinnamon , for dusting
Instructions
- Heat the eggnog liqueur of choice in a saucepan over a medium heat and turn it off just before boiling. Pour the liqueur into an espresso cup or a shot glass.
- Add the brandy and stir until combined. Top with a dollop of whipped heavy cream and dust with cinnamon.
Notes
- Heat eggnog liqueur gently without bringing to a boil to avoid splitting.
- Serve Bombardino in small espresso cups to match its rich, concentrated nature.
