Variations: 

Add in a splash of amaretto or coffee liqueur: For a bit of boozy flavor, try your favorite liqueur that complements the espresso and ice cream. Amaretto adds a lovely almond flavor, while coffee liqueur will really enhance the coffee. 

Change up the ice cream flavor: Go for double coffee with your favorite coffee ice cream, or try something unique like hazelnut, mocha ice cream, or even something super decadent like chocolate peanut butter. It's totally up to you and your taste buds!

Make it seasonal: Add in a splash of our homemade pumpkin spice simple syrup for an autumn-inspired variation. 

Chill the glass: If you have time, pop your glass jar in the freezer for 10-20 minutes before serving. This will prevent your affogato from melting too quickly, which is especially helpful if it's super hot out. 

If you don't have an espresso machine/espresso beans, use the darkest roast you can. You can also simply make double strength regular coffee. Plus, if you're caffeine sensitive, you can absolutely make this with decaffeinated coffee/espresso.
