Experience the Unique Flavors of the Asiático 43: A Luxurious Spanish Cocktail
As the sun sets on a bustling Spanish plaza, the promise of a relaxing evening begins to unfold, accompanied by a classic and luxurious cocktail: the Asiático 43. This exquisite concoction blends the rich, aromatic layers of Licor 43 Original with Spanish brandy and the smooth sweetness of condensed milk, crowned with a bold espresso. The result is a sophisticated drink that’s perfect for savoring after a meal or during a tranquil moment of relaxation.
The Asiático 43 Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 20 ml Licor 43 Original (¾ oz)
- 20 ml Spanish Brandy (¾ oz)
- 60 ml Condensed Milk (2 oz)
- 1 Hot Espresso Coffee
- Evaporated Milk (to top)
Garnishes:
- 2 Coffee Beans
- Cinnamon Powder
- Lemon Peel
Preparation Method:
- Layer the Base: Begin by carefully pouring the condensed milk into a clear glass, allowing it to settle at the bottom. This creates the first layer of your cocktail.
- Add the Spirits: Next, gently add the Spanish brandy followed by Licor 43 Original. To maintain distinct layers, pour slowly over the back of a spoon. This technique helps to distribute each layer evenly without mixing.
- Incorporate the Espresso: Pour a hot espresso over the mixture, again using the spoon to preserve the layers. The warm coffee mingles slightly with the liquor, introducing a rich aroma and deep flavor.
- Top with Evaporated Milk: Finally, top the cocktail with a float of evaporated milk, adding a creamy texture and a visual contrast to the darker coffee layer below.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder for a touch of spice, place two coffee beans for an authentic coffeehouse appeal, and add a twist of lemon peel for a hint of citrus brightness.
- Tasting Notes: The Asiático 43 offers a complex flavor profile that starts with the sweet, creamy base of condensed milk, moving through the warming, herbaceous notes of Licor 43 and brandy, and finishing with the robust bitterness of espresso. The evaporated milk adds a silky, smooth texture and the garnishes of cinnamon, coffee beans, and lemon peel enhance the sensory experience, providing a delightful aroma and a hint of zest.
Perfect as an after-dinner treat, the Asiático 43 is best enjoyed when you’re winding down from the day and settling into a relaxed state.
