Caffè Corretto

Here is another coffee based cocktail, a twist on the Italian ‘corrected coffee’. Caffè Corretto describes anytime espresso has been ‘augmented’ with a spirit like grappa, sambuca, brandy, etc. For my variation, I decided to increase the coffee depth by adding Galliano Ristretto while adding a subtle sweetness and herbal aspect with amaro and simple syrup. This cocktail is the Flatliner’s best friend – strong and reliable, yet easy going and self-effacing. Caffè Corretto is another easy sipper that works best as an after-dinner libation or dessert accompaniment – perfect for what I wanted tonight. Ahhh… time to relax and enjoy the evening, just me and my ‘corrected coffee’. I hope you enjoy your Friday evening too…
