How to Make the Boozy Affogato

The Boozy Affogato takes the classic Italian dessert and adds a spirit, usually amaretto, whiskey, or liqueur. It sits somewhere between a cocktail and a dessert.

Hot espresso poured over ice cream creates contrast in both temperature and texture. The alcohol adds depth without changing the structure too much. It is simple but relies on good ingredients.

I think of this more as a finish than a drink. It is one of the easiest ways to end an evening well.

The traditional Affogato is espresso poured over vanilla gelato. To make it truly a truly Italian cocktail, drizzle a bit of Amaretto or Frangelico over it. Personally I love a little Sambuca!
