Don't know why that link's not working. Anyway, it was to a French site called histoires-de-chtis.com and said: Dans notre région, c'est ainsi qu'on nomme un café arrosé, sachant que le café contenait toujours une proportion variable de chicorée et que c'est d'eau de vie de geniévre qu'il est arrosé.

That should settle or start a few arguments. Reading it put me in mind, indirectly, of the <a href="http://www.histoires-de-chtis.com/index-news-659-qu'est-ce-qu'une-bistouille.php/" rel="nofollow"> <i>bistouille</i></a> that gets the working man kick-started on winter mornings in NE France. It's a more or less chicoryish coffee with a generous slosh of hollands gin in it. Thank you for an interesting and detailed post. That should settle or start a few arguments.
