by Chef Nelson German of Sobre Mesa
Top Chef Alum Nelson German draws inspiration from his Oakland community, Afro-Latin roots, and Dominican mother for this delicious cafecito coffee cocktail. The Cafecitio De Familia is a nod to Dominican afternoon coffee to wind down and relax. This spirit-forward coffee will put you in the undeniable island vibe.
