About
The cortadito (Spanish pronunciation: [koɾtaˈðito]) is a traditional Cuban espresso-based drink consisting of a shot of sweetened café Cubano "cut" with steamed milk, usually in equal parts. The name derives from the Spanish word cortado ("cut"), with the diminutive suffix -ito indicating its small size. Some cafés, particularly outside Cuba, prepare cortaditos with evaporated or condensed milk to create a richer, sweeter drink. While this method is increasingly common in American Cuban-style coffee shops, it is not part of the traditional preparation in Cuba.
The drink is a hallmark of Cuban coffee culture in both Cuba and Cuban-American communities such as Miami's Little Havana.
