Barraquito (Duarte)
Barraquito () is a coffee liqueur commonly available on Tenerife (one of the Canary Islands), also known as ''zaperoco''. Origin 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. This bar is still active and is located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Cortado
A cortado is a beverage consisting of espresso mixed with a roughly equal amount of warm milk to reduce the acidity. The milk in a cortado is steamed, but not frothy and "texturized" as in many Italian coffee drinks. The cortado comes from Spain, most likely Madrid, where it is commonly served. The word ''cortado'' is the past participle of the Spanish verb (to cut), in the sense of "dilute", and can refer variously to either coffee or espresso drinks throughout Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries. Similar drinks In Spain a ''café solo corto'' is a small amount of black coffee (usually a single shot of espresso), while a ''café cortado'' is an espresso with a splash of milk, while the term ''cortado'' is itself broadly associated with various coffee or espresso beverages having been "cut" with milk. The café cortado may in fact be interchangeable with the Italian macchiato or similar to the French noisette. The ''cortadito'' in Cuba specifically implies a small bevera ...

Condensed Milk
Condensed milk is cow's milk from which water has been removed (roughly 60% of it). It is most often found with sugar added, in the form of ''sweetened condensed milk'' (SCM), to the extent that the terms "condensed milk" and "sweetened condensed milk" are often used interchangeably today. Sweetened condensed milk is a very thick, sweet product, which when canned can last for years without refrigeration if not opened. The product is used in numerous dessert dishes in many countries. A related product is evaporated milk, which has undergone a lengthier preservation process because it is not sweetened. Evaporated milk is known in some countries as unsweetened condensed milk. Both products have a similar amount of water removed. History According to the writings of Marco Polo, in the thirteenth century the Tatars were able to condense milk. Marco Polo reported that of milk paste was carried by each man, who would subsequently mix the product with water. However, this probably ...

Licor 43
Licor 43, or ''Cuarenta y Tres'' (Spanish for "43"), is a Spanish liqueur, made in Cartagena, Spain. History It was invented in 1946 by Diego Zamora, along with his brother and sister, Angel and Josefina Zamora, and Emilio Restoy, Josefina's husband. The Licor 43 website states they based their recipe on the ''Liqvor Mirabilis'' (marvellous liquid), a golden, aromatic elixir produced and infused from local fruits and herbs in Carthago Nova during the 3rd century. ''Liqvor Mirabilis'' was encountered by the Romans when they conquered the region in 209 BC; despite the Romans banning its production and consumption, the Carthaginians continued producing in secret. This legend served as the inspiration for the Zamora's invention of Licor 43. The name of the modern-day liqueur originates from its use of 43 different ingredients; while its recipe is a closely guarded secret by the Zamora family, it is known to contain citrus and fruit juices, and to be flavoured with vanilla, a ...
