Caffè corretto, an Italian beverage, consists of a shot of espresso "corrected" with a shot of liquor, usually grappa, brandy or sambuca. It is also known (outside of Italy) as an "espresso corretto". It is widely consumed in Italy and usually taken after lunch or dinner. It is ordered as "un caffè corretto grappa", "[…] corretto cognac" or "[…] corretto sambuca", depending on the liquor the customer would like to have added to the coffee.

In Spain, a similar drink is known as "carajillo".
