5 Perfect Liquid Refreshments to Dunk Your Favorite Biscotti in!

Italians have a ‘food rule’ dictating their twice-baked biscotti to be dunked in Vin Santo and nothing else, not even in your daily cup of coffee. They are very particular about the ‘match made in heaven pair of the deliciously crispy biscotti and Vin Santo, roughly translates to ‘holy wine. While this pair is a treat to the taste buds, we can still want to try different combinations. Isn’t it?

While Giorgio Cookie Company is a purist in preparing authentic gourmet biscotti, we are not a purist for the dunking rule. We believe our wide range of gourmet Italian biscotti can and should be experienced with different liquid refreshments. We support experimenting with different tastes. 

Why settle for one when you have at least 5 perfect liquid refreshments to dip your favorite biscotti in? 

Let us quickly immerse you into our favorite list of liquid refreshments eligible for being a dunking partner to your favorite gourmet biscotti.

Vin Santo 

We cannot drop Vin Santo from the list regarding Italian biscotti. There’s no argument about it being the perfect partner for dipping dry and crisp biscotti. The duo is the most famous Italian sweet treat for a reason. Almost any meal in Tuscany, Italy, is followed by crunchy biscotti and Vin Santo, and this tradition of ending any meal with biscotti and Vin Santo is very old. 

This sweet Italian wine with intense flavors of hazelnut, raisin, and caramel is undoubtedly a pair made in heaven for twice-baked gourmet cookies. The pair of almond-studded biscotti and a glass of Vin Santo will saturate the taste buds with luscious flavors.

Marsala Wine 

This fortified wine is one of the most popular cooking wines in Italy. Any ‘Biscotti-Vin Santo’ lover, if ever agree to dip their crunchy cookies in anything other than their favorite Vin Santo, it would be Marsala Wine. The sweet Marsala wine, used generally for preparing desserts, goes very well with crispy biscotti.  Dipping our Salted Caramel Biscotti in sweet Marsala Wine will leave you craving more. Almond biscotti is a treat with a small glass of sweet Marsala Wine. 

This Italian wine from Sicily combined with Italian crunchy biscotti will give you the taste of a perfect Italian dessert without having to cook one. Give it a try!  

Ice Wine 

If you have a sweet tooth, Ice-wine will certainly delight you. Ice wines are always on the costlier side due to their method of production but their great taste makes it worth the price. Pick a lesser sweet Italian biscotti online from the long list available with Giorgio Cookie Company to pair with your glass of Ice-wine, and you won’t see it as a pricey deal. Ice wine has a natural refreshing feel that, when coupled with the crunchiness of gourmet biscotti studded with nuts and almonds, will give an instant kick. While Ice-wines are produced in different parts of the world, the best one comes from Canada. So, when you want to try this combo of Ice-wine and gourmet cookies, try to pick authentic Ice-wine from Canada.

The Canadian Ice-wine and the Italian gourmet biscotti can be a great pair, though not very popular yet. The duo enhances each other’s flavor and lets you relish the combined magic of sweetness and crunchiness.     

Tawny Port Wine   

Tawny Port Wine comes from Portugal but pairs perfectly with Italian Biscotti. This sweet fortified wine with flavors of nuts, raspberry, chocolate, and caramel enhances the flavors and tones down the crunchiness of twice-baked cookies. If you want to pair your favorite cookie with something new, you should try this Portuguese delight. Tawny Port has an inherent nutty flavor that blends with the crunchy Italian biscotti. 

This dessert wine from Portugal is often served as an aperitif. And, it is typically paired with cheese, nuts, or chocolates. Next time you get a chance to help yourself with this rich wine, make sure to pair it with a crunchy biscotti of your choice.

Espresso 

The purist will frown on dipping gourmet cookies into a cup of coffee. But the pair is worth a try. The nutty taste of deliciously baked cookies goes well with the bitter coffee flavor. A crunchy cookie dipped in espresso gives the kick of flavors and an instant jolt of energy. When you are in no mood for alcohol, try dunking your favorite biscotti in a cup of hot coffee. You can try to pair your next cup of espresso with Vanilla Chai Biscotti or White Chocolate Cranberry Orange Biscotti by Giorgio Cookie Company.

Sometimes, a steaming cup of espresso is all you need to energize yourself. Add a few Italian biscotti to the equation and you’ll get energized and start feeling refreshed. Espresso is the best non-alcoholic liquid refreshment that goes exceptionally well with crunchy cookies. 

Over to You

Gourmet Italian Biscotti are a delightful treat for people of all ages. As these cookies are baked twice, they become drier and crunchier than other cookies. This is why finding a liquid refreshment to dunk these crispy delights is essential. These twice-baked cookies when dipped in a refreshment liquid soak it in and become more flavorful thus giving your taste buds a treat.

The above-mentioned refreshment liquids will double your delight of munching over your favorite Italian biscotti. But, don’t limit yourself to these choices. Experiment with yourself to know what pair of gourmet cookies and refreshment drinks are your favorite. You will never know unless you give them a try.
