The new and improved espresso? Yes. A potential new favorite digestif? Absolutely. The ideal late-afternoon, early-evening pick-me-up? By all means. This drink might just be perfect. Firing on all cylinders, it’s simple but flavorful, rich but palatable, exciting but familiar. El Siglo is Spanish for the century, as in, the drink of the century. It’s really that good.
