Bombardino is a drink popular in Italy during the winter, especially in ski resorts. It is made by mixing 1/2 Advocaat or eggnog and 1/2 Brandy.
More commonly, bombardino is obtained by mixing 3/4 of hot traditional Italian egg liquor (for example Vov or Zabov) and 1/4 rum or brandy.
"Vov" egg liqueur was created in Padua, Italy, in 1845 by a pastry chef, Gian Battista Pezziol, mixing egg yolks (leftover from the production of nougat) with marsala wine and alcohol.[1]
Bombardino is served hot and with whipped cream on top on request. It has several variations: with coffee (calimero), with rum (pirata or pirate)[2] or whiskey (scozzese or Scottish).[3] The calimero variation is one part Brandy, one part Vov, and one part espresso.
