Café Romano / Roman Coffee
Café Romano
No todas las fórmulas de café son iguales. Algunas mezclas las llaman de una forma en un lugar y de otra forma en un lugar diferente. Cuando tenía quince años mi abuelo me contó que los periodistas del periódico local acostumbraban reunirse para conversar y tomar café. Me contó que uno de ellos pedía su café expréss con una rodaja de limón en lugar de azúcar. En es tiempo yo era muy joven y pensé que jamás me atrevería a probarlo de esa forma, pero muchos años después cambié de parecer.
Los dos días anteriores ha estado lloviendo mucho en Playa del Carmen, pero eso no me detuvo para meterme a la mar un rato, después de todo no pensaba perderme la oportunidad. El agua estaba muy fría y el sol apenas si se asomaba de vez en cuando. Después de un rato me empezó a doler la garganta y para colmo se me ocurrió tomarme una cerveza bien helada. Estaba por tomarme la segunda cuando mi esposa me pidió que la acompañara a tomar un café. Fue cuando recordé lo del café romano que me había contado mi abuelo.
-Un café romano- le dije al mesero. Este me pidió que le dictara la fórmula porque no estaba en el menú. Fue cuando se me ocurrió agradarle ron a la fórmula quedando de la siguiente manera:
1 onza de ron
El jugo de medio limón
Una taza de café expréss
El resultado fue sensacional. El aroma del café en compañía del ron era excitante y el jugo de limón le agregaba un sabor incomparable. Fue toda una fiesta de olores y sabores que resultaron también muy tranquilizantes.
Roman Coffee
Not all coffee formulas are the same. Some mixes call them one way in one place and another way in a different place. When I was fifteen years old, my grandfather told me that the journalists from the local newspaper used to get together to talk and have coffee. He told me that one of them ordered his espresso with a slice of lemon instead of sugar. At that time I was very young and I thought that I would never dare to try it that way, but many years later I changed my mind.
The previous two days it has been raining a lot in Playa del Carmen, but that didn't stop me from going into the sea for a while, after all I didn't think I would miss the opportunity. The water was very cold and the sun barely peeked out from time to time. After a while my throat started to hurt and to top it off I decided to have a very cold beer. I was about to take the second when my wife asked me to join her for coffee. It was when I remembered the Roman coffee that my grandfather had told me.
-A Roman coffee- I told the waiter. He asked me to dictate the formula because it wasn't on the menu. It was when it occurred to me to like rum to the formula being as follows:
1 ounce of rum
The juice of half a lemon
A cup of espresso
The result was sensational. The aroma of coffee in the company of rum was exciting and the lemon juice added an incomparable flavor. It was a whole party of smells and flavors that were also very calming.

Hello @saulos
That's a great combo, and it sounds like a simple recipe that I would enjoy.
Thanks for sharing:)))
In fact, it is very easy to prepare and has a very stimulating taste to write or talk.
That's very interesting. This is the first time that I've heard of a Roman coffee. Sounds good 👍
I liked its flavor
The sour flavor with the coffee is amazing. Have you tried adding milk to it, it will taste delicious.
I have tried it with rum, milk and coffee liqueur and eggnog , it also has a very interesting flavor.
What kind of coffee it's better, with or without sugar? I prefer it with little cinnamon, it's great
Most of the time I don't add sugar, but when I add cinnamon, I also add piloncillo, this is called pot coffee.
I didn't know it, a friend of mine used to add brandy to his coffee every morning.
But I have not combined it with alcohol, I am sensitive to caffeine, now with alcohol, it does not attract my attention.
But thank you for sharing it, it is a very interesting recipe, and your post is very illustrative.
Success
