MOCCIA ZABOV ZABAGLIONE LIQUEUR, Italy 700ml

If you’ve ever skied in the Italian Alps, chances are you’ve heard of Zabov. This iconic egg liqueur, effectively a zabaglione in a bottle, is best known as the base ingredient of the legendary Alpine cocktail known as the “Bombardino”—a sweet and creamy pick-me-up favored by skiers and mountaineers across northern Italy. In the late 1940s, Luigi Moccia developed the recipe for Zabov using brandy instead of Marsala and packaged the resulting liqueur in a clear bottle to showcase the beverage’s saturated egg-yolk color. The name combines the “ZAB” of zabaglione with the “OV” of uovo (“egg”). This classic Zabov bottling remains both the heart and soul of Moccia and one of the most iconic liqueur brands in Italy. Bright and deep yellow-gold, with a creamy texture reminiscent of zabaglione. Eggy, creamy, and custardy, with hints of warm spice and ample sweetness. Luxurious without being cloying. Can be served hot or cold and added to coffee or cocktails. - Producer
