Café Corretto

This spiked Italian coffee pairs a shot of espresso and a splash of liquor, typically different varieties of grappa, brandy, rum, mistrà, or sambuca. The drink is supposed to have a dominant, rich coffee flavor and not to be overpowered by strong liquor.

Occasionally, the two drinks are served separately, allowing the guests to combine it according to their taste. In other countries, it occasionally goes under the name espresso corretto, while in Spain, a similar spiked espresso is known as carajillo.
