Shortly after moving to Miami, I was introduced to Colada, AKA liquid crack. Colada is Cuban coffee, similar to espresso or Turkish coffee, except sweeter and not as grainy or bitter. I asked a good friend of mine, and mother of 4 boys, Gina Padilla, to teach me how to make this Cuban staple.
It is the traditional Cuban breakfast beverage, served with slices of buttered, toasted cuban bread. Colada is 3–6 shots of Cuban-style espresso served in a Styrofoam cup along with small, plastic demitasses. It is a takeaway form, meant to be drunk as one shot. This is customary of workplace breaks in Cuban communities.
Gina asks to please disregard the plastic and Styrofoam utencils, as the best Coladas are made with metal spoons and porcelain cups. Gina’s favorite cuban coffee to use is Cafe Bustelo.
Café con leche, or “coffee with milk”, is an espresso served alongside a cup of hot or steamed milk. Traditionally served separate from the coffee, the espresso is poured to the desired darkness into the cup of hot milk and then stirred.
