Authentic Caffe Corretto aka Coffee Corrected Recipe!

Indulge in the rich flavors of Italian coffee culture with Caffe Corretto and Caffe Con Ammazzacaffe. These traditional beverages harmoniously blend the bold taste of espresso with the warming touch of a spirit, delivering a perfect after-meal digestivo or a cozy pick-me-up for cooler climates.

Ingredients

For Caffe Corretto:
โ˜• 1 Espresso Coffee short pour brewed with Bialetti Moka Pot
๐Ÿ‡ 0.5 oz 15ml Poli Grappa
๐ŸŒฟ 0.5 oz 15ml Varnelli Anice Secco Speciale alternative
๐Ÿฌ Sugar optional to taste
For Caffe Con Ammazzacaffe:
โ˜• 1 Espresso Coffee short pour brewed with Bialetti Moka Pot
๐Ÿฌ Sugar to liking
๐Ÿฅƒ 1 oz 30ml Your Favorite Spirit or Liqueur served separately


Instructions

1- Prepare Caffe Corretto:

  • Brew a short pour of espresso into an espresso cup using the Bialetti Moka Pot.

  • Add 0.5 oz (15ml) of your selected spirit (Grappa for a more traditional taste or Anisette for a sweeter profile) directly into the coffee.

  • Optional: Add sugar to taste if using Grappa. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  • Enjoy immediately while hot.

2- Prepare Caffe Con Ammazzacaffe:

  • Brew a short pour of espresso into an espresso cup using the Bialetti Moka Pot.

  • Sweeten the coffee to your liking and stir.

  • Serve 1 oz (30ml) of your chosen spirit in a separate shot glass.

  • Sip and savor the espresso.

  • Once finished, pour the spirit into the nearly empty espresso cup to mix with the remaining coffee and sugar residue.

  • Stir and enjoy the combination, then finish any remaining spirit from the shot glass.


Prep Time: 1-2 minutes per drink after coffee is brewed

Servings: Each recipe serves 1
Equipment:

Cooking Tips

  • Look for a crema on your espresso; it's a sign of high-quality brewing.

  • Preserve and enjoy the last bits of your coffee with the Ammazzacaffe method, embracing the Italian "no waste" philosophy.
