FAQ's
![ORIGINS_HISTORY](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/origin.avif)
What is the origin of the Bombardino cocktail?
The Bombardino cocktail originates from Italy, specifically from the Lombardy region. It was invented in the 1970s at a ski lodge in the town of Madesimo. The name 'Bombardino' translates to 'bombard' in English, reflecting the drink's powerful warming effect and strong flavor. It's particularly popular in ski resorts and cold-weather areas, serving as a comforting alcoholic beverage after a day in the snow.

How should a Bombardino be served for the best experience?
A Bombardino is best served hot in an Irish glass to maintain its temperature and enhance the drinking experience. You can top it with whipped cream for extra richness and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or chocolate shavings for added flavor. Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy its warmth, especially in a cold setting.

What is Advocaat and why is it used in a Bombardino?
Advocaat is a rich and creamy liqueur made from eggs, sugar, and brandy, featuring a smooth, custard-like texture and a sweet taste. It is a key ingredient in the Bombardino because it adds a velvety thickness and distinctive flavor that balances well with the sharpness of the brandy, creating a harmoniously warm and inviting drink ideal for cold weather.
![ALCOHOL_CONTENT_COMPARISON](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/alcohol_comparison.avif)
How does the alcohol content of a Bombardino compare to other winter cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 28.75%, the Bombardino is on the higher end of the spectrum for winter cocktails, making it quite potent. This is higher than beverages like mulled wine or hot toddies, which generally hover around 10-15% alcohol by volume. Its substantial alcohol content, coupled with the warming effect of serving it hot, makes it especially popular for après-ski and cold-weather enjoyment.
![OCCASION_SUITABILITY](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/occasion.avif)
When is the best time to enjoy a Bombardino?
The best time to enjoy a Bombardino is during the winter season, especially in a snowy, mountainous setting or after skiing. Its warm, soothing qualities make it an excellent choice for cold weather, holidays, and festive gatherings. It is particularly suited for après-ski relaxation or as a comforting drink to warm up after being outdoors in the cold.
