Five layers, one small glass, and a hundred years of Canarian café culture. Sweet condensed milk, a shot of Licor 43, strong espresso and silky milk foam, finished with lemon zest and cinnamon. This is the full Barraquito recipe, explained by the local team at Club Canary.
Club Canary is based in Costa Adeje, Tenerife. We drink Barraquitos after lunch like everyone else here, so this recipe is the real one from the islands, not a tourist version.

Barraquito, Quick Facts
What Is A Barraquito?
The Barraquito is the most iconic coffee drink of the Canary Islands. You will find it in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Palma, La Gomera and the smaller islands, always layered, always sweet, and always served with a little pride. Online people call it an aesthetic coffee or a coffee that looks good on camera. Locals just call it a classic.
Five layers, one glass. Condensed milk at the bottom, liquor, espresso, milk foam, and lemon zest with cinnamon on top. In that exact order.
One Drink, Four Names
Depending on the island and how local the bar is, the same drink hides behind different names: バラキト is understood everywhere, Zaperoco is very common in Tenerife, Café Especial is what Gran Canaria often calls it, and Café Canario shows up in the least touristy bars. If in doubt, just ask for a Barraquito and everyone will know.
Barraquito Ingredients
- Espresso, one fresh shot
- Condensed milk, the sweet base layer
- Licor 43 or Tía María, optional but traditional
- Frothed milk, silky, not stiff
- Lemon zest, one small strip
- Ground cinnamon, a light dusting
This combination makes the Barraquito a sweet Spanish coffee, a coffee with condensed milk, and, if you keep the Licor 43 in, a proper coffee with alcohol for after dinner. Skipping the liquor is completely normal too, then locals call it a Barraquito sin licor.

The Right Glass Matters
This drink is famous for its layers, so you need glass that shows them. Best option: a tall transparent glass. A latte glass or slim coffee glass works, and a champagne flute is the very local, very classy move. Avoid mugs and opaque cups completely: if you cannot see the layers, it is not really a Barraquito, it is just sweet coffee.
How To Order One Like A Local
You can order a Barraquito in almost any café or restaurant across the Canary Islands, usually after lunch or dinner as a coffee dessert. Just say: "Un Barraquito, por favor." If the pronunciation feels tricky, this short Club Canary video teaches you to say Barraquito like a pro.
Why The Barraquito Is A Canary Islands Icon
The Barraquito is more than coffee. It reflects how life works here: slow, layered and social, meant to be enjoyed together. Created by café owners for their regulars, it grew into a symbol of traditional Canarian coffee culture, and today it is the drink locals order when lunch was good and nobody wants to leave the table yet.

Club Canary 的真实评价
来自加那利群岛当地团队的真实分享
Here is the truth: your first Barraquito should not be at home. Make the recipe, enjoy it, but the real thing tastes different with the Atlantic in front of you and nowhere to be. Order one at a terrace in Tenerife after a long lunch, stir the layers, and you will understand why nobody here rushes coffee.
Come taste the original. The recipe travels, the moment does not.
