Barraquito is a sweet coffee drink that is loved in the Canary Islands for being served in layers, thanks to the different densities of its ingredients. It all starts with condensed milk, then a layer of liqueur (most often Licor 43, consisting of 43 spices, or Tia Maria - a Jamaican coffee liqueur with a vanilla accent), then espresso coffee, and topped with whipped milk. The drink is served in a medium or tall glass, garnished with cinnamon and lemon or lime zest. And, of course, there is also a non-alcoholic version of barraquito.
