Coffee has come a long way as a beverage, from a rich espresso to the most delicious cocktails based on this infusion.
Today, thanks to the science of foodpairing, I want to share my experience of trying a drink made with coffee.
After a delicious lunch, I wanted to enjoy a coffee and a dessert, but I had eaten a lot, and I didn't have much space in my stomach, so I chose a preparation that had coffee and was sweet at the same time.
I talked to the waiter, and he recommended I order a coffee-based drink called "Sweet orange coffee" served in a shot, which could be a good alternative for me. I followed the recommendation and could only wait for the drink to arrive at my table.
When I received my drink, it looked both tasty and elegant at the same time. It is a drink served in layers and to consume. It has to mix them to enjoy all its ingredients.
The bottom layer has orange liquor flambéed with sugar, a layer of condensed milk, a layer chocolate on top, espresso coffee, and milk foam. The unique touch of flavor is completed with orange zest and a nice latte art design. This beverage is served between 30 to 35ºC.
Everything about this drink is perfect, the combination of its ingredients and its portion. Would I order it again? Yes, but the menu of coffee beverages is so wide in this place that next time I will order a different one, and I will tell you how it went.
Thanks for reading. See you in a future post!
