Siciliano
A new coffee cocktail to celebrate International Coffee Day .This is called a Siciliano, as it uses a Sicilian Amaro called Averna. Amaro translates to bitters in Italian and is normally served before dinner as an aperitivo or after as a digestive. Averna is a richer amaro so it adds a nice fruity and floral sweetness to the coffee and the hint of orange makes it zing.
