Definition
Gibraltar Coffee (noun):
- A coffee beverage that combines elements of an espresso and a cappuccino, consisting of a double shot of espresso and a small amount of steamed milk, typically served in a small glass, often a 4.5-ounce “Gibraltar” tumbler. The ratio of coffee-to-milk is higher than that in a latte, but lower than in a traditional espresso, giving it a balanced flavor and texture.
Example Sentences
- “The barista recommended trying the Gibraltar Coffee, which was served in a small, clear glass.”
- “When looking for a smaller, more intense coffee drink, many aficionados prefer Gibraltar Coffee over a traditional latte.”
- “She discovered Gibraltar Coffee at a local café, enjoying the balance between the espresso and steamed milk.”
Notes
- The name “Gibraltar Coffee” comes from the glass it’s typically served in, known as a Gibraltar glass.
- It is similar to a cortado, but with a slight variation in the espresso-to-milk ratio.
- The drink is usually smaller than a latte or cappuccino.
