Notes

Optional Variations

While a plain cortado is a delicious beverage in its own right, there are always plenty of opportunities for you to customize based on your needs and preferences. Here are a few variations to consider:

Cortadito - This Cuban variation of the cortado coffee beverage swaps in warmed sweetened condensed milk for steamed milk. It’s sweet and delicious!
Flavored Cortado - Feel free to add vanilla syrup, caramel sauce, or any other flavored syrup you like to this spanish drink.
Iced Cortado - Skip steaming the milk and simply pour equal parts of espresso and your milk of choice over ice.
Vegan Cortado - Use your favorite plant-based milk to make this a vegan-friendly delicious drink.
Decaf Cortado - Swap in decaf espresso beans or strongly brewed roasted chicory so you can drink a cortado in the afternoon and still be able to fall asleep come bedtime.
