The Canarian Affogato Connection
A boozy twist on the classic Italian affogato, with a distinctly Canarian connection.

Ingrediënten
Method
- Place the vanilla ice cream in a small glass or dessert glass.
- Pour the Honey Rum and Banana Liqueur over the ice cream.
- Prepare a fresh espresso and pour it over the ice cream.
- Serve immediately with a spoon and enjoy as the ice cream slowly melts into the coffee and liqueurs.
Use the lower amounts for a classic affogato-style dessert, where the vanilla ice cream and espresso take centre stage. For a richer, more indulgent cocktail affogato, increase the Honey Rum to 15ml and the Banana Liqueur to 30 ml.
No honey rum on hand? Use dark rum instead. Pour the rum and banana liqueur over the vanilla ice cream. Stir a teaspoon of honey into the hot espresso, then pour it over the top.

Notities
From Italy to the Canary Islands
The classic Italian affogato is beautifully simple: vanilla gelato or ice cream “drowned” with a freshly brewed espresso. Over the years, boozy variations have appeared too, often adding a splash of liqueur to turn the coffee dessert into an even more indulgent after-dinner treat.
The Canarian Affogato Connection takes that idea on a small detour to the Canary Islands. Ron Miel — the islands’ characteristic honey rum — brings mellow rum sweetness, while banana liqueur adds a fruity note that feels perfectly at home with the Canarian inspiration.
Hot espresso is poured over vanilla ice cream and the two liqueurs, gradually transforming the dessert as you eat it. At first it is cool, creamy and distinctly layered; as the ice cream melts, coffee, banana and honeyed rum come together into a rich, sweet finish.
Not quite a cocktail, not quite a dessert — and that is exactly the point.
The experience changes as it melts — so don’t rush it, but don’t wait too long either.
