Café Maria Theresia

This specialty coffee is a staple in Viennese coffee houses. It consists of an espresso that is fortified with an orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau. The concoction is sweetened and then topped with whipped cream. It is usually garnished with chocolate shavings or orange rind.

As it is evident from the name, the drink was named after Maria Theresa, the Holy Roman Empress, but it is not known whether it hails from the time of her reign.
