Caffe
Corretto Cocktails to Keep You Warm
By FBWorld Team
Tis
the season for keeping warm - and what better than a hot
coffee cocktail to warm the spirit and keep one going
through the cold winter days. Mr. Espresso, a Bay Area
roasting institution since the 1970s, has two Caffe Corretto
recipes that are sure to be a hit for this and any occasion
during the winter months. Caffe Corretto is an Italian
beverage consisting of espresso to which a small amount
of liquor is added. Literally translated, corretto means
"correct", as in espresso corrected by the liquor.

Affare
Venezuelano
Ingredients:
.5 oz. Averna
.5 oz. Pampero Rum
.25 oz. All Spice Dram
Double Espresso
Lime Zest and garnish
Procedures:
The voluptuous pampero rum and bright sweet yet bitter
averna are a perfect pairing. The work together like whiskey
and sweet vermouth. To add a winter touch the all spice
dram add a nice cinnamon clove that rounds the drink off.
Surprisingly the lime zest turns this in to a citrus candy.
