Instructions
- In a large glass, pour in the pipeño wine, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Add two generous scoops of pineapple ice cream on top of the wine, allowing it to float.
- Gently pour the fernet over the ice cream, allowing it to drizzle down and mix with the wine.
- Sprinkle the sugar on top of the fernet and ice cream for added sweetness.
- Garnish your drink with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing aroma.
- Stir gently with a straw or spoon before drinking to combine the flavors without disturbing the ice cream too much.
Tips
- For a fun twist, try using other fruit-flavored ice creams like mango or passion fruit to create different flavor profiles.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, consider reducing the amount of sugar you sprinkle on top.
- Experiment with different types of bitters in place of fernet for a unique taste.
