Barraquito

Barraquito (Spanish pronunciation: [bara'kito]) is a coffee liqueur commonly available on Tenerife (one of the Canary Islands), also known as zaperoco.

[1][2] Amongst the population of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, it is said that barraquito appeared in the mid-20th century.

Its name refers to a frequent client of Bar Imperial, Don Sebastián Rubio, nicknamed "Barraco" or "Barraquito", who always asked for a cortado with condensed milk, a shot of Licor 43, a lemon rind, and cinnamon in a long glass.

[3] The barraquito is a multi-layered coffee liqueur drink (though non-liqueur versions are available) normally served in a glass to enable easy viewing of the different layers.

The layers of a barraquito are normally: Other ingredients typically used: The condensed milk is first added, followed by the liqueur, espresso and lemon peel (in this order).
