A marocchino

Marocchino (caffè marocchino) is a coffee drink created in Alessandria, Italy.[1][2]

Preparation

Generally, the glass cup is first dusted with cocoa powder, then topped with milk froth and espresso, with a second dusting of cocoa on top.

Serving style

It is served in a small glass and consists of a shot of espresso (sometimes a small shot, or ristretto), cocoa powder and milk froth. In some regions of northern Italy, thick hot cocoa is added.[3][4] In Alba, Piedmont, the home of the Italian chocolate giant Ferrero, Nutella is used. The name marocchino (Italian for 'Moroccan') is derived from its colour, as marocchino was a type of light brown leather (see Morocco leather) used in the 1930s to make hair bands.[5][6]
