AffoGatO - 2 Scoops, 1 pour, 0 regrets.

Affogato means “drowned” in Italian — a scoop of cold, sweet cream, drowned on purpose in something hot and bitter. Nobody agrees on who invented it, but nobody argues with the result. Tonight’s version swaps the espresso shot for Luxardo’s Decaf Coffee Liqueur — same bittersweet Italian coffeehouse DNA, minus the caffeine, so you can drink this one at 9pm without planning your whole night around it.

Ingredients

• 2 scoops Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

• 1.5 oz Luxardo Decaf Coffee Liqueur

• 1 Luxardo Maraschino Cherry, for garnish

• Rocks glass or coupe, chilled

Instructions

1. Scoop the vanilla bean ice cream into a chilled glass.

2. Pour the Luxardo Decaf slowly over the crown of the scoop, letting it pool at the base.

3. Top with a Luxardo maraschino cherry, stem and all.

4. Serve immediately with a spoon.
