After a recent ski trip to Austria I have fallen in love with the Bombardino cocktail. A beautiful creamy cocktail that is perfect after a cold day on the slopes (or shoveling snow). Typically this is hard to make at home as commercially the cocktail is constantly being circulated to ensure aeration for a nice smooth texture but I had a thought on how to replicate it at home. I would first whip the eggnog and brandy cocktail in an espresso machine, similar to how one would froth up the milk, and once I achieved a velvety texture I would serve it in an espresso glass with a bit of whipped cream. Though this is an imperfect imitation it is suitable enough to satisfy that itch that no other cocktail can satisfy.
