Cortado

Cortado, derived from the Spanish word “cortar” meaning “to cut,” is a coffee beverage that artfully marries the intensity of espresso with the velvety texture of warm milk. This drink is created by “cutting” or diluting a shot of espresso with an equal part of steamed milk, striking a perfect balance between the robustness of coffee and the creaminess of milk. Served in a small glass, the Cortado offers a harmonious blend, allowing coffee enthusiasts to savor the strength of espresso while enjoying a silky, well-rounded finish. It’s a popular choice for those seeking a compact yet flavorful coffee experience.
