About Bombardino
Bombardino counts among the traditional food of Italy, a cocktail locals hold dear. Key ingredients include egg, cream and cinnamon.
History & Culture
The Bombardino is a warm, creamy cocktail strongly tied to Italy's Alpine ski culture, particularly in resorts across Lombardy, Trentino, and Piedmont. Its exact origins are debated - some claim it emerged in the 1970s as an après-ski pick-me-up, while others trace a longer lineage - but most agree it was born in the mountains as a hearty, warming drink for cold days on the slopes.
Regionally, the recipe varies from chalet to chalet, but the base typically combines egg liqueur (like zabaglione or advocaat) with brandy or rum, topped with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. For many Italians, the Bombardino is more than a beverage; it is a ritual of the ski holiday, symbolizing warmth, conviviality, and the cozy end to an active day outdoors.
Where to eat it
In the Italian Alps, skiers order Bombardino at high-altitude rifugios, warming their hands around the creamy, spiked mug after a final afternoon run.
