Gibraltars and cortados are classic espresso drinks that differ in their milk-to-espresso ratios, affecting their flavors. Gibraltars consist of a double shot of espresso with less than two ounces of milk, resulting in a bold and intense coffee experience. In contrast, cortados combine equal parts of espresso and steamed milk, producing a smoother and less acidic flavor that emphasizes subtler coffee notes. Cortados are also more flexible in serving options compared to the stricter Gibraltar, which is often served in a specific glass format and may feature latte art.
Gibraltars are made with a double shot of espresso and a dollop of milk foam, yielding a strong coffee flavor and a smooth, subtly pillowy mouthfeel.
Cortados are smoother, less acidic, and more expressive of the subtler tasting notes in the espresso grounds, with a one-to-one ratio of espresso and steamed milk.
