Barraquito () is a coffee liqueur commonly available on Tenerife (one of the Canary Islands), also known as zaperoco.
==Origin== Amongst the population of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, it is said that barraquito appeared in the mid-20th century. Its name refers to a frequent client of Bar Imperial, Don Sebastián Rubio, nicknamed "Barraco" or "Barraquito", who always asked for a cortado with condensed milk, a shot of Licor 43, a lemon rind, and cinnamon in a long glass. This bar is still active and is located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
