Have you been thinking of planning a ski break in Italy’s ski region in 2024?
Do you want to really do it right?
Well, once you have secured your vacation rental in Italy and you’re on your way, all that’s left to do is to properly enjoy the excellent ski lifestyle that is on offer in Italy.
An integral part of this experience is warming up after a day on the slopes with a hot drink or an alcoholic drink... or both! The bombardino is a classic winter warmer from Italy and here is how you can make it at home while you look forward to your trip...
Ingredients
1 part brandy
1 part advocaat (a creamy liqueur that is very similar to eggnog and is from the Netherlands originally but is now found in supermarkets all over Europe in the winter today)
Method
1. Take a glass that is on the smaller side, like an espresso glass or an Irish coffee glass. This is a very rich drink and is usually not served up in very large quantities – we are warning you for your own sake here! A small amount is perfect and just what the doctor ordered.
2. Heat the advocaat/eggnog mixture in a pan over medium heat until just before boiling – do not let it boil!
3. Pour into your glass.
4. Add the brandy and stir until the two are combined.
5. Top with a healthy dollop of whipped cream and finish by adding a dusting of cinnamon for a perfect festive touch!
6. Enjoy and look forward to a perfect ski break in Italy full of adventure out in the snow and then indulgent evenings warming up in your holiday rental in Italy with a hot drink or hitting the nearest bars and restaurants to enjoy the apres ski lifestyle the way Italians do!
