Behind the drink
A standard order in Italian coffee bars, named for the spirit added: corretto alla grappa, alla sambuca. Sometimes the spirit comes on the side so you can add your own.

Wikipedia names grappa as the usual choice; the amount follows the 2 teaspoons of liqueur in a GialloZafferano blog post.
