What is cortadito?

Cortadito is a type of Cuban coffee that is made with espresso and steamed milk. It is similar to a latte but with a much stronger coffee flavor. The milk used in cortadito is typically evaporated milk, which gives it a sweetness and richness that sets it apart from other coffee drinks. It is often served in a smaller cup (usually about 2-3 ounces) and is enjoyed as a mid-morning or mid-afternoon pick-me-up in Cuba. Cortadito is also popular in Miami, where it is found in many Cuban cafes and restaurants. The word "cortado" means "cut" in Spanish, referring to the way the espresso is "cut" or diluted with milk.
