One of the highlights when skiing in Italy is a break at one of the many gorgeous rifugi. And when in a mountain hut you cannot go past Bombardino, a wicked and decadent hot drink which has now become an icon across the Alps.
Read on to replicate the magic at home.
Invented in Livigno back in 1972 this unmissable drink quickly cast its spell all over the Italian Alps and over the borders to the neighbouring Switzerland, France, and Austria.
Originally referred to with a generic description (“hot eggnog with whisky and whipped cream) the current name stuck when an anonymous first time taster exclaimed “Accidenti, e’ una bomba!”, which translates “Damn, it’s a bomb!”
There are a number of ways to make Bombardino, but the original recipe is the one our friends from Hotel Concordia in Livigno, one of the first hotels in the valley, sent us. They would not make it any other way! It wouldn’t be a “real’ Bombardino otherwise …
