What alcohol do you put in an affogato?

Boozy Affogato has arrived and it’s definitely here to stay. Rich vanilla ice cream is topped with a heavy pour of spiked espresso to make the perfect simple dessert. It comes together as quickly as you can pull that shot of espresso and will disappear from your glass just as fast. You all know that leading a balanced lifestyle is my jam, and as I’ve grown up a bit, I’ve come to realize that occasional weekends with nothing on the schedule are absolutely necessary. One thing that you will not need all that extra time to whip up is this recipe for Boozy Affogato. I took the Italian classic and amped it up with Cognac and bourbon. If we’re going to have espresso for dessert, we might as well counteract all that caffeine with a little alcohol so we’re not up all night, right? So here’s all it takes to create this incredibly tasty dessert (or breakfast, I won’t judge): Vanilla Ice Cream (homemade or store-bought, doesn’t matter) Espresso (or brewed coffee, if you don’t have an espresso machine) Cognac Bourbon That’s it! Four ingredients and you have yourself an elegant, uncomplicated dessert that would impress a table full of fancy dinner guests just as much as it would your significant other on a quiet night in.
