Raw Cane Sugar-Sweetened Espresso

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Cafe Cubano Offers a Sweet and Spicy Alternative to Coffee

— February 3, 2015 — Lifestyle
If you are sick of your usual coffee order and are looking for a new hot (and caffeinated) beverage to warm up with this winter, a cafe cubano might just do the trick.

The cuban espresso not only offers a quick shot of coffee that is sure to wake you up when the February blues have got you down, it also has a sweet and spicy kick to it. The alternative coffee drink is sweetened with raw cane sugar as it is being brewed. If you have tried a cortado or cafe con leche, it might taste familiar because it often serves as a base for these two coffee varieties. The cuban coffee is also known as cafecito.
