Bombardino


Bombardino is a warm Italian alcoholic beverage traditionally consumed in the Alps during the winter season. The drink is particularly popular in the ski resorts of northern Italy, where it is often enjoyed as an apres-ski refreshment.

History[edit | edit source]

The Bombardino was first created in the early 20th century at the Bar dello Stadio in Livigno, a small town in the Lombardy region of Italy. The name "Bombardino" is said to have been coined by the bar's owner, who exclaimed "It's like a bomb!" after tasting the potent drink for the first time.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The Bombardino is typically made with equal parts brandy and Advocaat, a creamy liqueur made from eggs, sugar, and brandy. The ingredients are mixed together and heated before being topped with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon.

Variations[edit | edit source]

There are several variations of the Bombardino, including the Calimero, which substitutes coffee for the brandy, and the Scozzese, which adds a shot of whisky. Another popular variation is the Pirata, which uses rum instead of brandy.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

The Bombardino is a staple of Italian winter culture, particularly in the ski resorts of the Alps. It is often enjoyed in the company of friends after a day on the slopes, and is seen as a way to warm up and relax.
