About
The Carajillo is one of the most popular drinks in Mexico for good reason. It is simple, comforting, and delicious. The classic version is just espresso and Licor 43, a Spanish vanilla-spiced liqueur. Adding tequila is not traditional, but the flavor fit is natural. Isaiah (@onesipclub) and I were talking about seasonal ideas and this one came together quickly. It surprised me in the best way. I have already made several and December has barely started. Save this for the colder months because it works for any holiday moment.Cheers y’all!
